"On 1 April 2019, the Labour Court of Liège in Belgium ordered the Federal Agency for Occupational Risks (Fedris) to pay disability benefits to two workers from the metal-racking company Polypal. This decision marked the end of the workers' long legal battle, doggedly supported by trade union medical advisor Dr Jilali Laaouej, to achieve recognition of their cancers as occupational diseases."
