Nice!

That is generally the HSE practice, they much prefer to "educate" rather than prosecute!
So it often goes: -
Verbal advice
if ignored
Improvement notice
if ignored
Prohibition notice
if ignored
Consideration of prosecution

In this case they seem to have gone direct to a Prohibition Notice, which they can. It is rare I understand to go direct to prosecution unless and actual death or injury (or potential for either) has occurred.

Certainly any cases where I have been involved with them have followed the above route

As you are aware, it is because their friends make the rules.

Try getting repeatedly caught driving at 35mph in a 30mph zone and see if the police take that approach.
