MELBOURNE RETAIL SAFETY

The Challenge
Melbourne retail operations face unique safety challenges across stockrooms, sales floors, and loading docks. With high staff turnover, seasonal peaks, and complex equipment operations, maintaining consistent safety standards is crucial but challenging. Traditional safety programs often fail to engage workers or drive sustainable behavior change.
Melbourne's retail sector employs over 280,000 workers across 22,000 establishments, with safety incidents costing the industry $47.2M annually. Local WorkSafe Victoria data shows manual handling, slips and trips, and moving equipment incidents as top concerns. Our platform addresses these specific challenges while ensuring compliance with Victorian OHS regulations and retail industry codes of practice.
Our Solution
Safety Recognition & Rewards transforms retail safety culture through instant digital recognition of safe practices. Our platform delivers immediate rewards for proper equipment handling, hazard reporting, and safety compliance - from correct manual handling techniques to proper operation of stock movement equipment. By gamifying safety compliance, we help Melbourne retailers build a proactive safety culture while reducing incidents and improving operational efficiency.
