The threshold in s.30(3)(b)(i) requires evidence of employment-related exposure (a discernible element of probable exposure in the employment task or environment); proof of only general background atmospheric asbestos does not satisfy that threshold, therefore the claimant failed to establish a Schedule 2 employment injury and leave to appeal was refused.
