I don't see this as employer responsibility at all, it's a cumulative illness. He has health insurance, that would have taken care of it, but he actually makes money on the deal if he claims it was work related (which I am tasked to dis-prove), so which way do you think he goes?

If my hi-lo ran over his foot, them yes it's comp. But if he gets lung cancer and claims welding in my shop contributed (even though a lifelong smoker) that should not be Comp.
