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).
You can have all the positive posters you like. When workers get immediate rewards, that's when behaviour really changes.

The maritime sector faces a critical mariner shortage with only 11,768 qualified U.S. mariners available against 13,607 needed for full activation. MarineLinkSpeconthejob The 2024 port strike involving 47,000 longshoremen highlighted labor tensions over automation and wages. Wikipedia Shipyards struggle with aging infrastructure and high retirement rates while organized crime attempts workforce infiltration.
Despite median annual pay around $160,000 for NY/NJ longshoremen, The Washington Post workers seek significant raises after inflation erosion. Strong automation resistance requires engagement strategies addressing technology fears. The dangerous working conditions demand recognition programs focused on safety achievements and skill development.
Maritime operations involve heavy machinery, cargo handling hazards, and weather-related risks. The shipbuilding industry faces ongoing worker safety challenges. Long shifts and demanding physical labor create fatigue management concerns requiring targeted recognition for safety protocol compliance.
Safety milestone rewards for accident-free periods and proper equipment use drive compliance. Gamified training programs enhance maritime certifications and specialized skills development. Team-based port efficiency competitions and cross-training incentives improve operational performance while building engagement.
Remote maritime operations often lack connectivity, requiring offline-capable recognition systems. Strong labor unions necessitate careful program navigation. Extensive regulatory compliance and 24/7 operations demand flexible solutions accommodating international crews and global supply chain considerations.
The maritime sector employs 47,000+ longshoremen and faces a critical mariner shortage with only 11,768 qualified U.S. mariners available against 13,607 needed. Despite median annual pay around $160,000 for NY/NJ longshoremen, the 2024 port strike highlighted labor tensions over automation and wages. Safety risks include heavy machinery accidents, cargo handling hazards, weather-related dangers, and fatigue from long shifts. The predominantly male, aging workforce operates in remote locations with high certification barriers, while organized crime infiltration attempts and strong union presence create unique challenges. Scratchie's platform navigates maritime's complex environment by providing offline-capable recognition for safety achievements in remote operations and port efficiency improvements. Workers receive instant rewards for accident-free cargo handling, proper equipment use during weather events, and completing specialized maritime certifications. The system's team-based competitions for port efficiency and cross-training incentives address automation resistance by celebrating skill development. By creating safety milestone celebrations and emergency response recognition that works within union frameworks, Scratchie helps reduce the dangerous working conditions that threaten retention while building engagement across international crews operating 24/7 in global supply chains.
