I have just received an email from someone at the NFRC (National Federation of Roofing Contractors), on Haymills Construction paper, describing a fatal incident on a contractor's site involving a can of this material exploding when shaken and causing a rupture to the heart of the cahp holding it, who died rapidly.

Before I circulate this to my clients, can anyone confirm, or otherwise, that this is a genuine report? - IOSH have supposedly received this report as well. IT is possible for this material to behave in such a manner if incorrectly stored, and the MSDS does warn against this.

Thanks for your hekp,

Richard Beales
