As part of a partnership, OberA is equipping the WorldSkills 2022 in Bordeaux<\/strong> (October 19-22) with 2 Dustomat 4.24<\/strong> industrial dust collectors and 4 x 3m suction arms<\/strong> for dust treatment<\/a> during the stone-cutting<\/strong> competition.<\/p>\n\n

What is WorldSkills?<\/h2>\n\n

WorldSkills is the world’s largest skills competition<\/strong>. Held every two years, the competition brings together young professionals from all over the world to compete on the same site. <\/p>\n\n

The WorldSkills competition is all about youth, sharing, fair play, effort, excellence, commitment and respect for cultural diversity.<\/p>\n\n

More than 1,600 competitors<\/strong> from over 85 countries<\/strong> test their skills in over 50 different trades<\/strong>. The competition takes place over 4 days. <\/p>\n\n

What does OberA bring to WorldSkills 2022?<\/h2>\n\n
\n
\n

OberA provides 2 Dustomat 4.24<\/strong> mobile industrial dust collectors and 4 <\/strong> 3m<\/strong>suction arms<\/a> to equip 4 stations<\/strong> for the stone-cutting<\/strong> competition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Dustomat 4.24 are equipped with class H filtration<\/strong>, ideal for fine dusts that are dangerous<\/strong> to humans, such as those produced by stone cutting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Automatic <\/strong>cartridge cleaning <\/strong>using compressed air ensures that the equipment remains efficient throughout the competition, without the need for any intervention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dust bins<\/strong> allow waste to be disposed of<\/a> without any contact with <\/strong>dust.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Stonemasonry test procedure<\/h2>\n\n

For the main test, participants will have 2 natural stones to cut, according to a sketch. The test is divided into 4 modules, requiring candidates to make templates on sheets of aluminum or zinc, cut 2 pieces of natural stone, draw an engraving or ornament on one of the 2 pieces, and assemble several elements of an architectural ensemble to present the public with an example of the stonemason’s work. <\/p>\n\n

The importance of OberA equipment in stonemasonry and the dangers of crystalline silica<\/h2>\n\n

Silica dust<\/strong>, present in many rocks, is very dangerous <\/strong>when inhaled. That’s why the equipment installed for this competition is so important, as it will protect competitors<\/strong> from any health risks<\/strong> associated with silica dust. <\/p>\n\n

Health effects can range from eye and respiratory tract irritation to chronic bronchitis and irreversible pulmonary fibrosis known as “silicosis”. Of course, crystalline silica also plays a role in the development of certain lung cancers. <\/p>\n\n
