"A man from Adelaide's south, who is dying of lung cancer, is suing resources giant BHP Billiton for allegedly exposing him to asbestos 40 years ago.
Rodney King, 71, worked as a fitter at BHP Billiton's Whyalla shipyard for five years.
In District Court paperwork, Mr King says he worked in an area where asbestos insulation was put on pipes, boilers and turbines - releasing dust which he inhaled.
Mr King is now in hospital with asbestosis and terminal lung cancer.
He is suing BHP Billiton as well as the now defunct Wallaby Grip, which manufactured the asbestos products.
Mr King alleges his exposure occurred when both companies knew of the health risks.
Lawyers for Wallaby Grip have filed papers rejecting the claims.
BHP Billiton is yet to submit its defence statement.
