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 events and entertainment sector, generating over $2 billion annually with 24.2 million attendees, manages extreme safety complexity with 70-80% contractor workforces handling everything from stage construction to crowd control. Workers face severe hazards including working at heights on staging, electrical risks from complex temporary installations, and crowd management challenges that can escalate to crush incidents. The industry's feast-or-famine nature creates intense time pressures during setup and breakdown, while coordinating multiple specialised contractors—audio, visual, catering, security—across unfamiliar venues. Post-COVID adaptations including hybrid events and enhanced health protocols add layers of safety complexity to already challenging operations. Scratchie revolutionises event safety by providing real-time recognition during high-pressure event operations. The platform acknowledges riggers for proper fall protection use, security staff for proactive crowd management, and technical crews for safe equipment handling under tight deadlines. By gamifying venue-specific safety briefings and creating team challenges for incident-free events, Scratchie builds consistent safety culture across temporary workforces. The system's ability to coordinate recognition across multiple contractors working simultaneously addresses the sector's primary challenge of unified safety standards. Instant rewards for hazard identification during setup, successful emergency drills, and effective team communication during events transform safety from a pre-event checkbox to an integral part of event excellence. This approach helps event companies attract quality contractors while building reputations for safety that win major venue contracts and ensure audience protection.

AU Context Safety

The US entertainment industry encompasses vast venues from stadiums and arenas to theaters and amusement parks, creating unique safety challenges as facilities host millions of visitors while managing complex technical operations behind the scenes. Entertainment workers face diverse risks from rigging failures in theatrical productions to crowd control challenges at major events, requiring specialized safety knowledge that spans construction, electrical work, pyrotechnics, and emergency response. Venues must balance customer experience with safety requirements, managing everything from structural integrity of temporary stages to food safety at concessions to security protocols for large gatherings. The sector's seasonal fluctuations, reliance on temporary workers for major events, and pressure to deliver spectacular experiences while maintaining absolute safety create demanding environments where vigilance cannot waver despite repetitive routines. Entertainment venues can transform their safety cultures by implementing instant rewards that recognize the countless correct decisions made by workers who ensure millions of guests enjoy safe experiences. Stage hands properly securing rigging, security staff managing crowd dynamics, maintenance teams ensuring ride safety, and food service workers maintaining hygiene standards all deserve immediate acknowledgment for their contributions to guest safety. The visible nature of many entertainment roles makes safety recognition particularly powerful, as workers take pride in being recognized for excellence in front of colleagues and even guests. By gamifying safety metrics from incident-free event counts to successful emergency drills, entertainment companies can build engaged workforces that view safety as integral to the show rather than a hindrance to it, ultimately creating environments where both workers and guests can fully enjoy the magic of live entertainment.

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.
