Most safety processes in construction and mining are about punishments. Scratchie is about rewards.
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.

Mining faces an aging workforce crisis with many workers over 46 and nearly 50% of engineers reaching retirement within a decade. Overall employment has fallen 20.4% over the past decade despite surging demand for energy transition minerals. MINING.COM Remote locations complicate recruitment while critical knowledge walks out the door with retirees.
Workers value safety-first culture recognition, challenging project completion acknowledgment, and team-based achievements. Environmental stewardship and technical skill development recognition address modern mining priorities. Extended 12-hour shifts with 14/7 rotations create unique engagement challenges requiring targeted solutions. MSHA Safety Services
Despite improvements to 1.3 incidents per 100 workers, U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics mining maintains the highest fatality rate of any US industry. National Academies Press Key risks include equipment accidents, respiratory hazards, cave-ins, and explosions. MSHA enforcement focuses on reducing fatalities through comprehensive safety programs.
Recognition programs focusing on preventive safety behaviors, near-miss reporting, and equipment maintenance excellence show significant impact. Environmental compliance achievements and emergency response team recognition address modern mining priorities while improving safety outcomes.
Remote site operations require robust offline capabilities. Harsh underground and extreme weather environments demand durable solutions. Complex shift rotations and MSHA regulatory requirements necessitate flexible, compliant recognition systems integrated with existing mining equipment and systems.
The mining sector employs 597,200 Americans with 36.2% annual turnover, facing an aging workforce crisis where nearly 50% of engineers reach retirement within a decade. Despite improvements to 1.3 incidents per 100 workers, mining maintains the highest fatality rate of any US industry, with equipment accidents, respiratory hazards, cave-ins, and explosions as primary risks. Remote locations complicate recruitment while extended 12-hour shifts with 14/7 rotations create unique engagement challenges.
