Explanation:
I don't know whether it's a diploma or a degree, but I'm assuming the former for the sake of argument.

You wouldn't say "the diploma held by you" or "the diploma in your possession". You'd say "your diploma".

Here's my suggestion for the whole of this extremely wordy sentence:

As requested, we attach the certificate for your specialist diploma in occupational health.

agree  Lorraine Buckley (X): sorry, Thomas, didn't read your explanation of 'held by you' - thought it was someone being misled by the typo of dalla instead of della

neutral  philgoddard: This is the literal translation, but you wouldn't say "the diploma held by you". You'd say "your diploma".

  -> Not sure, you can say "the degree held by you"; surely ok also for diplomas?

aforementioned


Explanation:
The usual flowery Italian grammar, somewhat redundant in English. My understanding is that the writer is in possession of the aforementioned certificate.

S.V. = "sub voce"
"o alla v., o sotto la v. (spesso s. v., per abbrev. del latino sub voce), come formula di rinvio, di riferimento o di confronto."

All valid suggestions... the exact rendering will depend on the rest of the translation...
