occupational disease arising out of and in the course of his employment, as hereinafter
defined, shall be made by the employer to the extent hereinafter set forth and without
regard to the negligence of the employer, except that no compensation shall be payable
when the injury or death by occupational disease is caused by willful self-exposure
