(CN) - Despite providing certain workers with "moon suits" and ventilators to handle asbestos, Boeing did not have "actual knowledge" that unprotected workers in the same area would get sick, a Washington appeals court ruled.
Gary Walston said he manufactured airplane parts for Boeing at a Seattle plant from 1956 to 1992, and that he inhaled asbestos fibers during pipe insulation repairs in 1985.
He sued Boeing after doctors diagnosed him with asbestos-related mesothelioma in 2010.
