Inspections
Gator TRACS Inspections is a web-based audit application that allows safety professionals a simplified and comprehensive tool for on-site inspections. The inspections suite assists with corrective action tracking, reporting, and scheduling. Additionally, inspections can be conducted offline with an iPhone/iPad, and later synced once wi-fi has been re-established. The configurable nature of Gator TRACS inspections allows flexibility for safety professionals to promote safety culture and compliance at the University of Florida
