Nutrien Named 2022 Innovation Excellence Award Winner
ETQ, part of Hexagon, the leading quality management system (QMS) provider, has announced that it has named its customer Nutrien, the winner of its annual ETQ Innovation Excellence Awards. Nutrien, a global agriculture company and the world’s largest provider of crop inputs and services, was recognized for its ingenuity in implementing ETQ Reliance to digitize on-site health and safety inspections across its locations and unlock significant business value to the organization.
“Nutrien has most recently digitized on-site safety and housekeeping inspections through our mobile app, but its ability to digitally innovate with Reliance is not new,” said Robert Gremley, ETQ, CEO. “The company earlier replaced paper-based SH&E processes with our QMS, to improve efficiency, meet growing regulatory compliance requirements and gather data-driven insights to proactively address safety concerns. As a long-standing ETQ customer with a deep safety culture, Nutrien is setting the bar on how ETQ Reliance can be optimized in creative ways to bring safety, health and environment (SH&E) automation to new levels.”
“Safety is one of our core values and is at the heart of everything we do. Our vision is for everyone to go home safe, every day,’’ said Brent Poohkay, EVP & Chief Technology Officer, Nutrien. “Thanks to ETQ Reliance, we’ve been able to automate safety processes across our global operations to keep employees and customers safe, and empower our SH&E teams with the digital tools needed to do their jobs efficiently and effectively.”
Digital Mobility for Safety and Housekeeping Inspections
Prior to leveraging the Reliance Mobile app, the more than 1,200 Nutrien retail locations were conducting monthly on-site safety inspections on paper and mailing them to a third-party vendor for processing and entry into an online system. The company achieved greater efficiency and accuracy, and saved tens of thousands of dollars in data entry and postal costs by digitizing and mobilizing inspections, entering data directly into the mobile system, with real-time notifications and insights.
An EH&S Global Platform for Compliance and Proactive Safety Analysis
One of Nutrien’s legacy companies had been using ETQ Reliance since 2009 as its SH&E technology platform. After the merger in 2018, the newly established Nutrien conducted an extensive industry review process, selecting ETQ as its global platform across its 2,500 locations in 23 countries, with 7,000 unique users. Using ETQ Reliance, Nutrien was able to automate consistent and effective processes for incident reporting and investigations, assessments and corrective actions. Since Reliance serves as the central SH&E repository, it can deliver robust reports that not only enable compliance, but also uncover valuable insights that help identify potential hazards and safety trends to proactively address them.
