Our focus continues to be on strengthening safety across all Silverstone operations, both in the office and across our regional projects.

Over the past month, the Operational and WHS teams have been working together to improve our Safety Management System by developing a new WHS Portal. The portal will make reporting events, completing inspections, and raising hazards much easier for our teams. The anticipated rollout of the WHS Portal is scheduled for mid-May.

A big thank you to everyone who continues to report hazards, share learnings, and look out for their workmates — these actions are what keep our workplaces safe every day.

Driving Safely: Reinforcing Our Expectations on the Road

At Silverstone, safety remains at the heart of everything we do — and that includes how we drive. Many of our teams travel long distances across regional Western Australia, and driving continues to be one of the highest‑risk activities in our operations. With this in mind, we want to take a moment to reinforce our expectations around speed, overtaking, and safe decision‑making on the road.

Why This Matters

WA road safety data consistently highlights speed as a major contributing factor to serious injuries and fatalities on regional roads. The risks increase significantly when posted speed limits are exceeded, even briefly. While overtaking slower vehicles can feel like a practical solution — especially after long hours on the road — it is critical that every overtaking decision is made within the legal speed limit and only when it is genuinely safe.

Our Position: Clear and Non‑Negotiable

There is no change to legislation or policy. Instead, we are clarifying a key expectation:

The speed limit is the maximum legal speed — at all times.

There is no circumstance where exceeding it is acceptable, even momentarily during an overtake.

At Silverstone, compliance with signposted speed limits is a non‑negotiable legal and safety requirement. This expectation cannot be overridden by urgency, personal judgement, or an informal assessment of risk. Safe driving protects you, your passengers, other road users, and the business.

What This Means in Practice

When driving any Silverstone‑branded vehicle or hire vehicle:

  • Always comply with posted speed limits, regardless of road conditions or urgency.
  • Only overtake when it can be done safely and without exceeding the speed limit.
  • If the opportunity isn’t safe, wait for a designated overtaking lane or a clearer stretch of road.
  • Accepting minor delays is the right choice when safety and compliance are at stake.

Our Regional Operational teams will receive further guidance from their Leaders and the WHS team in the coming days.

A Supportive Approach

This message is not about blame or disciplinary action. It’s about setting clear, consistent boundaries so that everyone can make safe, defensible choices behind the wheel. By reinforcing these expectations, we ensure our people return home safely and uphold the professionalism we are known for.
