Trouble is in many MCs it's physically impossible to stay socially distanced at all times, you'd very quickly run out of room to move to the point where they'd get a bollocking about walkways, fire exits, etc. It can only be a matter of time before OFCOM start cracking down on the time taken for stuff to pass through the system, when that happens it'll be a choice, do they get fined for not social distancing or do they get fined for failing the mail too often

Reporting a alleged failure on a Health and Safety issue is hardly Grassing up. It’s about protecting staff from harm in the short term and in the long term.

All they did was to take away some cakes that were raising money for charity, hardly a major breach.

If they don't comply with written instructions from the HSE, they won't just be fined, they'll be shut down until they do comply. No ifs, no buts. Prosecutions of individuals held to be responsible are possible to.
