    I very much doubt if they have been paid off. More than likey, the HSA inspectors arrived, had a chat with the owner or senior management and have allowed them time to make the required corrections and bring the place up to code.

    On the other hand, this 'shed' might already meet the requirements for a building of it type and use and therefore futher action by the HSA is no needed.

    If would help if you could give some detail about the H&S in the place

    Doesn't sound a very nice or safe place to work.

    Unfortunately the HSA doesn't normally enter a workplace and close it down for safety reasons. HSA Inspectors will often give the owners time to take corrective action.
