Lee County district adopts Smart Safety Pro for school safety inspections

The School District of Lee County is using InspectNTrack’s Smart Safety Pro to manage more than 27,000 annual room inspections across 118 campuses. The rollout is meant to reduce manual work, speed corrective actions and help officials track violations and repair status in one system.

Why it matters: - The School District of Lee County must complete annual fire safety inspections across more than 27,000 individual rooms. - Smart Safety Pro is designed to standardize inspection workflows, help staff track violations and automate corrective actions. - The integration could reduce the burden on district teams and make it easier to spot repeat safety issues across campuses.

What happened: - Lee County officials are collaborating with Smart Safety Pro by InspectNTrack to support school safety inspections across the district. - The software is now launching across the School District of Lee County in Florida. - Inspectors can log violations against specific code requirements during school inspections. - The system automatically creates matching Issue items and Corrective Actions. - The software assigns each Issue to a category, priority level and responsible group.

The details: - Lee County schools operate under standards from the National Fire Protection Association, the State Requirements for Educational Facilities and the Fire Safety Standards and Requirements for Educational and Ancillary Facilities and Plants. - Violation records are tied to equipment type classifications, which lets officials run reports on specific equipment categories and look for recurring problems. - District staff can also compile inspection data from all schools and identify the top violations county-wide. - Smart Safety Pro connects with Lee County’s internal PeopleSoft maintenance system. - Once a service is complete and an Issue is resolved, PeopleSoft updates the Issue status in Smart Safety Pro. - The School District of Lee County is the 8th largest school district in Florida and the 27th largest in the United States. - The district has 118 school campuses, serves more than 100,000 students and employs more than 13,000 full- and part-time workers. - Smart Safety Pro is the latest flagship product from Wentworth Inc. and launched in 2024. - The software was originally built for lockout tagout inspections and has expanded to support broader safety inspections. - Smart Safety Pro includes a built-in site map, divisional hierarchy, user permissions and site assignments. - The platform works on Android, iOS and Windows devices and supports QR, bar and RFID codes.

Between the lines: - The Lee County rollout signals a broader push for Smart Safety Pro beyond lockout tagout use cases. - The software now positions LOTO as one part of a larger inspection and issue-management platform. - The district’s size makes automated reporting and workflow tracking more important than one-off inspection tools.

What's next: - District officials can use the system to monitor inspection trends, prioritize fixes and track resolution status over time. - The platform’s reporting tools should help identify county-wide patterns and guide future maintenance planning. - Smart Safety Pro will likely continue expanding as a general safety inspection platform rather than a niche LOTO tool.

The bottom line: - Lee County is adopting Smart Safety Pro to turn a large annual inspection burden into a more automated, trackable process.
