A happy site is a productive site

We said safe,
not skinny.

A smoothly-run project is easy to spot. The schedule is working, the banter is alive, things are tidy and the workers are productive. Safety is easier when workers are engaged. Scratchie contributes to creating those conditions on your site.

Hutchinson Builders

Commercial Precinct gets huge safety boost

Large privately-held construction company J.Hutchinson piloted Scratchie on one of their data centre projects, and consequently safety, lead indicator data and morale shot up. Oh and the supervisors can't get enough of it.

“Anything that improves safety, positively, we like.”

A leader in safety in the construction industry, Sydney-based Richard Crookes Constructions have used Scratchie on several of their projects, showing an improvement in safety attitudes of over 25%, and reducing the time required by their supervisors to chase up safety maintenance items (because they're already done – that's the power of positive incentives).

AU Context

Australian agriculture employs 274,900 people across 85,483 businesses, generating $62.2 billion in economic value while facing the nation's most severe workplace safety crisis. With fatality rates of 10.4 per 100,000 workers—eight times higher than the general population—farmers confront daily hazards from machinery, vehicles, chemicals, and livestock. The industry's aging workforce (average age 53-59) operates in extreme isolation, with 30% of farmers experiencing self-harm attempts and 45% reporting suicidal thoughts. Mental health challenges are compounded by weather disasters, financial stress, and the loss of traditional farming communities, while labor shortages exceed 100,000 workers following the pandemic's impact on international seasonal workers. Scratchie's digital recognition platform addresses agriculture's unique isolation challenge by connecting remote farmers to a supportive safety community. The system provides immediate feedback for safe chemical handling, machinery maintenance checks, and proper livestock handling procedures, building positive safety habits that combat the industry's fatality statistics. By gamifying safety training during quieter seasons and creating peer learning networks, Scratchie helps overcome the "she'll be right" attitude that often leads to accidents. The platform's mental health features are particularly powerful, recognizing farmers who check in on neighbors, seek help when needed, or participate in community wellbeing initiatives. This approach transforms safety from a solitary burden into a shared achievement, building resilience in rural communities while addressing both physical and psychological hazards that threaten Australia's farming families.

AU Context Safety

American agriculture remains one of the most hazardous industries in the nation, with deaths to workers occurring at a rate of 18.6 per 100,000 workers in 2022, with transportation incidents being the leading cause of death. The sector faces a perfect storm of challenges including severe labor shortages, with unauthorized immigrants constituting an estimated 4.8% of the US workforce but accounting for over a third of US crop workers, alongside an aging domestic workforce and limited appeal to younger generations. Farms struggle with financial instability, extreme weather events, technological barriers, and supply chain disruptions, with the US potentially facing a 20% farm labor shortage contributing to significant crop losses and higher food prices. The industry's safety challenges are compounded by the seasonal nature of work, language barriers among diverse worker populations, and the physical demands of agricultural labor that lead to high injury rates, particularly from machinery, falls, and repetitive strain injuries. For agricultural operations, implementing instant safety rewards can bridge cultural and language gaps while addressing the unique challenges of managing dispersed, seasonal workforces across vast properties. Field workers, equipment operators, and livestock handlers who consistently follow safety protocols—from proper pesticide handling to machinery lockout procedures—deserve recognition that transcends traditional communication barriers. Mobile-enabled reward systems can reach workers in remote fields, providing immediate positive feedback for wearing appropriate PPE, reporting hazards, maintaining equipment properly, and following heat stress prevention measures. By creating a gamified safety culture that celebrates daily wins, farms can reduce the 21,020 injuries requiring days away from work while building stronger connections with their essential workforce, ultimately improving both worker welfare and operational efficiency in this fundamental American industry.

Scratchie Rewards

Instant recognition that actually works

The Need: Your team does great work every day, but most of it goes unnoticed. Traditional recognition programs are slow, complicated, or forgotten entirely.

The Solution: Scratchie Rewards lets supervisors recognise good work instantly with digital scratch cards. Spot something positive, scan a QR code, and your team member gets an instant reward on their phone. It takes 30 seconds and creates a moment of genuine appreciation.

The Outcome: Teams that feel valued work harder, stay longer, and care more about quality. It's that simple.

Convo Card

Instant recognition that actually works

The Need: Your frontline workers see problems and opportunities every day, but most never speak up. Traditional reporting is a hassle, and nobody wants to be seen as a complainer.

The Solution: Convo Cards make it easy and rewarding to share observations. Workers can quickly report hazards, suggest improvements, or start important conversations—right from their phone. Add photos, voice notes, or just a quick message. Every contribution earns recognition.

The Outcome: Problems get fixed before they become incidents. Ideas flow from the people who know the work best. Your workplace gets safer and smarter, one conversation at a time.
