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

The aviation sector operates under intense regulatory scrutiny from CASA, managing complex safety requirements across ground handling, aircraft maintenance, and passenger operations. Workers face unique hazards including runway safety risks, high-altitude work on aircraft, exposure to hazardous aviation fuels and chemicals, and extreme noise levels requiring comprehensive hearing protection. The industry's 24/7 operations create fatigue management challenges while strict compliance requirements can foster a culture focused more on avoiding penalties than celebrating safety achievements. With multiple employers operating at single airports—airlines, ground handlers, maintenance organisations—coordinating consistent safety standards becomes complex, while the high-stress, time-critical nature of aviation operations adds psychological pressure to physical safety risks. Scratchie transforms aviation safety culture by shifting focus from compliance-driven fear to recognition-based excellence. The platform provides instant acknowledgment for thorough aircraft inspections, proper ground handling procedures, and effective team coordination during complex turnarounds. By recognising proactive safety behaviours—such as identifying potential runway incursions or suggesting operational improvements—Scratchie encourages workers to go beyond minimum compliance standards. The system's ability to operate across multiple employers at an airport creates unified safety culture, with maintenance crews, ground handlers, and airline staff earning recognition within the same framework. This approach is particularly powerful in aviation where one person's safety excellence can prevent catastrophic incidents, making every worker's contribution to safety culture invaluable for protecting both colleagues and the traveling public.

AU Context Safety

The US aviation industry stands as a critical pillar of the nation's transportation infrastructure, employing nearly one million workers in aircraft manufacturing and maintenance while supporting millions more in related sectors. With the average age of certified aircraft mechanics at 54 and 40% over 60, the industry faces an unprecedented workforce crisis, projected to be short 25,000 technicians by 2028. This aging workforce, combined with an expected need for 674,000 pilots worldwide by 2044, creates urgent demands for safety-focused recruitment and retention strategies. Major airlines, airports, and maintenance facilities are competing fiercely for skilled workers, with mechanics earning median salaries around $79,000 and some positions at major airlines offering over $130,000 after several years of experience. The sector's safety challenges are compounded by the complexity of modern aircraft systems, stringent FAA regulations, and the critical nature of maintenance work where even minor oversights can have catastrophic consequences. For aviation organizations, implementing positive safety reinforcement through instant rewards can transform workplace culture at a time when employee engagement is crucial for both retention and operational excellence. With safety incidents including tail strikes, runway damage, and runway excursions remaining persistent challenges, real-time recognition for following proper procedures, identifying potential hazards, and maintaining quality standards becomes essential. Ground handling teams, maintenance crews, and flight line workers who consistently demonstrate safety excellence deserve immediate acknowledgment, particularly as the industry transitions from outdated perceptions to high-tech, innovative work environments. By gamifying safety compliance and creating positive feedback loops, aviation employers can address both the immediate safety imperatives and the longer-term challenge of attracting younger workers to replace retiring veterans, ultimately building a more engaged and safety-conscious workforce that meets the industry's exacting standards.

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.
