So they do have been carrying out inspections.

I mean, I think it's fair to say that our reporting has pushed along some of the interventions that we're seeing now.

So, yeah, I think that's fair.

Yeah, so Marek, we were in touch with Marek's lawyers.

They said to us that he's dying.

He was a Polish worker, dad of two, 48 years old.

He was diagnosed, I think, in April 2024 with silicosis.

We interviewed him while he was very, very sick in the Whittington Hospital in October 2024.

He very bravely wanted to speak out.

He had only days to live.

It was quite a harrowing interview, but he wanted to speak out and he wanted to warn people.

people of the dangers of cutting engineered stone without dust.

So we spoke to him while he was in hospital and he died a few weeks later.

So that was a very harrowing interview.

A couple of months before that, we'd also interviewed another young man in hospital, a 31-year-old Syrian refugee called Malik.

He also had been told by the doctors that he could die.

So he again wanted to speak to us and just warn people about the risk that they're running if they work at firms who are cutting corners and exposing them to dust.

So, I mean, that's just two of the...

more than 50 men that are known about so far who have this.

Marek was 48 when he passed away.
