COMMUNITY
OUR COMMITMENT TO OUR COMMUNITY
Sustainability is embedded in everything we do at Silverstone. It enables us to deliver reliable, high-performance solutions for our clients while actively meeting our environmental targets.
We are committed to driving a circular economy that benefits our clients, our people, the communities in which we operate, and the environment — now and into the future. Our approach is proactive, measurable, and integrated across all business units.
Our Priorities
Silverstone prioritises providing local employment and training, business partner opportunities, and investments that support essential services, socioeconomic development, and environmental stewardship.
We seek to learn about the traditions, cultures, perspectives, and development practices of the people in the communities where we work, in order to build trusting and constructive long-term relationships.
At Silverstone, we aim to have a positive impact in the communities in which we operate. Wherever we have opportunities to engage through sponsorships, employment, or community grants, we are keen to get involved.

Safety and Health
At Silverstone, safety is not a slogan — it’s our foundation. We operate with a genuine zero-harm mindset, underpinned by industry-leading systems, rigorous compliance, and site-level accountability. Our LiveSafe program, daily pre-starts, and proactive hazard controls empower our 450+ team members to own safety on every site, every shift. With over 900,000 man-hours worked and a 0.00 LTI, our track record demonstrates a deeply embedded safety culture. We meet and exceed the health and safety standards of Tier 1 miners, integrating mental health support, wellbeing programs, and regular leadership engagement to ensure every worker goes home safe, well, and proud of their work.
Safety Systems & Compliance
Silverstone implements robust safety management systems across all operations, ensuring full compliance with statutory requirements and industry best practices. Our proactive audits, risk assessments, and real-time monitoring minimise hazards and keep every site secure.
Health & Wellbeing Programs
We prioritise the wellbeing of our team with mental health initiatives, fitness and nutrition support, and leadership engagement. From pre-start checks to ongoing wellness programs, Silverstone fosters a culture where every worker feels supported, healthy, and empowered.
Our People Are Our Power
At Silverstone, our people are our greatest asset — the driving force behind every successful project and client outcome. We are committed to attracting, developing, and retaining the right individuals who not only reflect our values but actively shape the future of our business. Through structured in-house training programs and genuine career development pathways, we empower our team to grow, lead, and thrive.
Our unwavering focus on safety and mental wellbeing underpins everything we do. We uphold a strong duty of care to all workers, supported by our partnerships with Relationships Australia and Elevated Living, which provide confidential Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs) and wellbeing initiatives that extend beyond the job site. At Silverstone, we invest in our people — because when they succeed, we all succeed.
