Mr Richard Greaves
Overview
After achieving the industry standard NEBOSH certificate, I began to apply this knowledge in the manufacturingsector as health and safety advisor for Hanson White/UK Greetings who were a, multinational greeting cardcompany and successfully restructured the health and safety management systems within the company. In the meantime, I was studying for my NEBOSH Diplomas and onto my Degree.
I then began work for Mouchel Consulting Limited (Mouchel Parkman) as group health and safety manager advisingboth internal employees including construction sector under CDM. This was predominantly construction and publicsector contracts. I have been involved in the food industry as health safety and environmental manager This varied range of experience enables me to look at situations from a practical as well as technical viewpoint. Thisis essential when applying health and safety law and best practice whilst reducing business interruption to a minimum.
I am very proud to be part of the lecturing teams at the University of Hull covering Nebosh Diploma and UniversityDegree (Main areas - Risk management, workplace safety, confined space). In addition, I have delivered wide variety of training including running a centre and delivering IOSH managing safely, NEBOSH certificate and Chartered Institute of Environmental Health (CIEH) training courses.

In 2006 I attended an IOSH interviewers training day as a panel interviewer for IOSH members prior to themachieving Chartered Practitioner Status.
In 2005 I set up ARC health and safety and developed a successful consultancy working across the UK for some significant organisations such as BAE systems and BAE global, Canary Wharf Contractors Ltd until selling the company in 2010 before then working for the purchasers ARCO Ltd until late 2012 when I moved to develop a new safety consultancy with the Sewell Group Ltd. Working across construction (CDM), FM and retail. I also became group risk management director undertaking a varied role across three divisions and also sat several boards internally.
