Inspection and repair of inflatables - Prohibited Person
17 July 2017
A prohibited person continues to inspect and repair inflatable play equipment.
The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) have requested that Local Authorities approach local schools and leisure centres within each Local Authority area to notify you of a prohibited person who continues to try to work as an inspector and repairer of inflatable play equipment. The details are below, as provided by the HSE.
HSE have been made aware that Peter Morrell is once again advertising his services for inspection and repair of inflatable play equipment. He is known to use a number of aliases including Mr Coltilda. The most current seems to be Peter Edward McCormack.
Peter Morrell was prohibited from conducting inservice inspections (through examinations) of inflatable amusement devices and inflatable play equipment in 2008. The Prohibition Notice issued on 11 November 2008 is still in force, and resulted from inservice inspections not being conducted competently or diligently.
Mr Morrell has previously been prosecuted and imprisoned for matters related to previous breaches of the Prohibition Notice.
