At the outset of the pandemic, Nutrien was considered an essential service in its core markets due to its role in supporting the agricultural sector. To combat the spread of the virus, Nutrien partnered with Triax to help its employees maintain a minimum physical distance of 6 feet and automatically record data about their interactions with colleagues as part of the COVID-19 protocols.
Nutrien has always had a culture that puts safety first, and technology and innovation support that core value. Originally deployed last July at Nutrien’s Nitrogen and Phosphate sites in the United States, Proximity Trace is now being rolled out in Nutrien’s Potash mines in Saskatchewan and headquarters in Colorado, Illinois, Alberta and Saskatchewan.
