On top of the critical data you need to measure internal and regulatory compliance to safety standards, you can get valuable guidance in areas such as: - Identifying hazardous and underperforming components of critical assets (e.g., equipment used in operations, safety equipment, vehicles, trains, aircraft.) - Identifying hazardous working conditions at worksites and facilities. - Anticipating and avoiding future hazards based on historical data. - Predicting the availability of assets and facilities, as well as evaluating their value, based on how well they stand up to use. - Developing preventive maintenance schedules for assets and facilities. - Monitoring if personnel are using assets and facilities properly. ![Safety audits and inspections can be improved with the use of audit and inspection software.](https://www.thechecker.net/hs-fs/hubfs/images/Inspecting_Navy_aircraft.jpg?width=320&name=Inspecting_Navy_aircraft.jpg "Safety audits and inspections can be improved with the use of audit and inspection software.")But how do you access this important information? Gathering this data in your safety audits and inspections is only the beginning. To get the most out of it, you need to be able to produce reports that make sense of it. And that’s exactly what the Reports feature of [The Checker Software](https://www.thechecker.net/the-checker-pro) allows you to do. **Easy-to-Create, Easy-to Understand Reports** The Reports feature is designed to pull out the key data from your safety audits and inspections and present it in a format that allows for quick digestion. When safety audits and inspections are done, the results are immediately included in the Reports you have set up. We offer a wide range of out-of-the-box Reports you can select from, or you can easily create custom Reports—no IT help needed! The format of every Report is designed for ease of comprehension. Trends are highlighted, problems are red-flagged, and insightful comparisons are automatically made. And unlike paper reports, The Checker Software’s Reports feature facilitates instant communication of a Report to everyone who needs to see it. There is no lag in sharing, thereby minimizing delays in taking action based on the information in the Report. Operations, maintenance, and management are always on the same page. The Reports can be viewed on any internet-connected device, and they can be downloaded for printing. **Takeaway** To gain the most value from the safety audits and inspections you conduct, you need a reporting function that allows for quick insight into the data produced. The Checker Software’s Reports are designed to do just that—assimilating and organizing key metrics related to compliance, maintenance, operational performance, and more.
