--- title: What Is Your Safety Stack? description: Do you know what your Safety Stack is? If the answer to this question is No, then good, because a Safety Stack really isn’t a term that exists but we think it should. In order to tell you what it is and how it works, the best place to start is to talk about the concept of a technology stack as a whole. image: https://www.thechecker.net/hubfs/what%20is%20your%20safety%20stack.png --- [![the-checker-grey-300](https://www.thechecker.net/hubfs/the-checker-grey-300.png) ](https://www.thechecker.net/) [ Login ](https://store.thechecker.net/login.php) [ GET A DEMO ](https://www.thechecker.net/demo) 3 min read ## [What Is Your Safety Stack?](https://www.thechecker.net/stories/blog/what-is-your-safety-stack) by [Shawn Macpherson](https://www.thechecker.net/stories/blog/author/shawn-macpherson) ![what is your safety stack](https://www.thechecker.net/hubfs/what%20is%20your%20safety%20stack.png)   [![what is your safety stack](https://www.thechecker.net/hs-fs/hubfs/what%20is%20your%20safety%20stack.png?width=725&name=what%20is%20your%20safety%20stack.png)](http://www.selectinternational.com/safety-blog/bid/191557/The-Importance-of-Regulatory-Inspections-for-Employee-Safety) Do you know what your Safety Stack is? If the answer to this question is *No*, then good, because a Safety Stack really isn’t a term that exists but we think it should. In order to tell you  what it is and how it works, the best place to start is to talk about the concept of a* technology stack* as a whole. In short, a technology stack, or more commonly known as a *tech stack*, is a combination of software and various programming languages that are used to create a web or mobile application. A tech stack is like building a skyscraper. You don't start with the fountain in the lobby or the furniture in the rooms. You start at the very bottom, with the foundation and girders to hang everything else on. The tech stack is the skeleton on which everything else is built.  In more technical terms, one such stack represents all of the underlying elements of a web or mobile application. These include features such as frameworks, languages being used, as well as the software products that everything else relies on.  If we were to look at a Marketing Technology Stack, for instance, we will see a variety of tech-based tools that are used in combination so as to efficiently execute all sorts of marketing activities across multiple channels. Depending on the size and needs of a business, its marketing tech stack can be comprised of a variety of tools that can span over multiple departments. One such stack can include such tools like [Campaign Monitor](https://www.campaignmonitor.com/) for its email marketing platform, [Hootsuite](https://hootsuite.com/) for social media, [Google Analytics](https://marketingplatform.google.com/about/) as its analytics tool, and [Hubspot](https://www.hubspot.com/) for its customer relationship management (CRM). All of these, or a similar combination, are considered a company’s marketing tech stack. And while each tool performs brilliantly at their respective task, together they make an excellent framework for a business to perform all of its marketing activities.   **The Safety Stack** A safety stack, on the other hand, is like the marketing tech stack, mentioned above, but focusing specifically on the tools used to support safety in the workplace. Here, a business could use [SAP](https://www.sap.com/index.html) for its maintenance, [Gurock](https://www.gurock.com/) for quality assurance, [Process MAP](https://www.processmap.com/) for sustainability, and the [The Checker Pro](https://www.thechecker.net/the-checker-pro) for inspections, assessments, and audits. The Checker Pro is an audit/inspection management system framework and file structure that allows users to organize, standardize, and utilize all aspects of their inspection program.  But for the software to work, business processes need to be in place first. Likewise, the most common gap that arises within organizations is between field audits and inspection software. Luckily, however, [the Checker Pro](https://www.thechecker.net/) manages to bridge that gap by providing the capability to configure and design forms to perfectly suit your business processes and needs. Because of its high degree of flexibility regarding configurations, The Checker Software allows every user to personalize it according to their needs or those of the organization they work for. In short, The Checker Software will help you improve safety, stay compliant with all health and safety regulations, and reduce costs, in the process.
