Rhian Greaves, Partner, Regulatory – Safety, Health & Environment at DAC Beachcroft, and Lord Bill Jordan, Life President of RoSPA and NEBOSH Ambassador, were presented with Honorary NEBOSH Diplomas in Occupational Health and Safety at NEBOSH's 2026 Graduation and Awards Ceremony.

Rhian specialises in health, safety and environmental law and has spent more than two decades supporting organisations through some of the most significant regulatory cases in recent history. Combining legal expertise with a passion for learning, she is one of the most prominent thought leaders in the health and safety legal market and is a familiar face at the sector’s conferences and exhibitions. Rhian is particularly well known for her mock trial presentations, which truly engage people with the legal aspects of the profession and attract hundreds of attendees.

On receiving the Diploma, Rhian said: “Working with NEBOSH is an absolute career highlight for me and so to receive this honour is incredible. While health and safety performance in the UK has improved significantly during my career, so much of my caseload still focuses on the real-world impacts of non-compliance and the widespread and traumatic impact of workplace incidents. Collaborating with NEBOSH allows me to bring these difficult experiences and their legal consequences to an engaged audience and hopefully play my own small part in making a positive difference. We are lucky to have such a thriving OSH profession, of which NEBOSH is the foundation.

“Congratulations to all this year's graduates; each of you will bring so much to your organisations and to your colleagues. I am inspired by all of you and look forward to working together with you as you drive further positive improvements in the safety, health and wellbeing in your workplaces.”

Lord Jordan CBE has dedicated himself to championing health and safety around the world. After beginning his working life at the age of 15, he went on to lead The International Confederation of Free Trade Unions, persuading world leaders that there must be a “Social Clause” in all International Trade Agreements, ensuring the right to decent and safe working conditions.

He also led campaigns to end child labour in Southeast Asia and took the issue of forced labour in Myanmar (Burma) to the European Parliament, successfully convincing them to remove the country’s favourable trading status. After entering the House of Lords, he joined RoSPA and now, as its Life President, is working to persuade the Government of the urgent need for an "Accident Prevention Strategy.”

Lord Jordan said of his achievement: "I am honoured and delighted to receive an Honorary Diploma from NEBOSH, who for nearly half a century have spearheaded and driven health and safety improvements across the world by developing and delivering qualifications that are proven, trusted and of the highest quality."
