Gator TRACS

 

As part of the University of Florida’s initiative to improve safety culture, Gator TRACS (Tool for Risk Assessment and Compliance & Safety) software will be used to manage information from a singular point of access.

The program includes, but is not limited to:

  • documenting risk assessments;
  • creating and maintaining chemical hygiene plans;
  • monitoring training completions;
  • performing and managing lab inspections.

The LATCH (Lab Assessment, Training, & Chemical Hygiene) and inspections modules are also available within Gator TRACS.

Contact EH&S at gatortracs@ehs.ufl.edu or (352) 392-1591 for assistance.

Log into GatorTRACS.ehs.ufl.edu to access the software.

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
