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

Australia's energy sector employs 241,600 workers and faces transformation pressures as it transitions from fossil fuels to renewables, requiring 85,000 additional workers by 2030. The industry grapples with major accident hazards in oil and gas operations, high-voltage electrical systems, and extreme working conditions on offshore platforms and remote renewable installations. With 51% of needed workers in nationally scarce occupations and mental health challenges pervading high-stress operational environments, the sector struggles to attract and retain skilled professionals. Workers face unique risks from high-pressure systems, confined spaces, chemical exposure, and the psychological strain of FIFO arrangements in isolated locations, while adapting to rapidly evolving technology and regulatory requirements. Scratchie's platform revolutionises energy sector safety by providing instant recognition across the entire energy spectrum—from traditional oil rig workers to wind turbine technicians. The system rewards adherence to safety case requirements, proactive hazard identification, and successful technology transitions as workers move between energy sectors. By gamifying critical safety behaviors like lockout procedures, emergency response drills, and mental health check-ins, Scratchie addresses both physical and psychological risks inherent in energy operations. The platform's ability to connect remote workers—whether on offshore platforms or isolated solar farms—to company culture through peer recognition and achievement sharing directly combats the isolation that contributes to mental health issues. This comprehensive approach helps energy companies build resilient workforces capable of managing current operations while preparing for the renewable energy future.

AU Context Safety

The US energy sector operates critical infrastructure that powers the nation's economy, encompassing oil, natural gas, coal, hydropower, nuclear, and rapidly expanding renewable energy resources that require specialized workforces and stringent safety protocols. Nuclear facilities face particular challenges with aging reactor fleets requiring license extensions to 80 years while maintaining absolute safety standards, while renewable energy installations deal with unique hazards from wind turbine work at extreme heights to solar panel installations across vast arrays. The sector must balance energy independence goals with workforce development needs, as federal initiatives prioritize nuclear engineering careers and education pathways while the entire industry undergoes technological transformation. Workers face diverse risks from radiation exposure in nuclear plants to hydrogen sulfide in oil refineries, electrical hazards in power generation, and confined space dangers in maintenance operations, requiring comprehensive safety approaches that adapt to each energy source's unique challenges. Energy companies can leverage instant safety rewards to build excellence across their diverse operations, from traditional power plants to renewable installations to transmission infrastructure. Control room operators preventing potential incidents through vigilant monitoring, maintenance crews properly isolating equipment before repairs, wind technicians following fall protection protocols at 300-foot heights, and refinery workers conducting thorough gas testing all deserve immediate recognition for their critical safety behaviors. The sector's 24/7 operations and remote locations make mobile-enabled rewards particularly valuable for reaching workers during night shifts or at isolated facilities. By gamifying safety performance across different energy sources—from radiation protection in nuclear plants to arc flash prevention in substations—companies can create unified safety cultures that transcend traditional sector boundaries, building workforce pride in powering America safely while preparing for the energy transition's evolving challenges.

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.
