Fire Risk Assessment

Carry Out Professional, Industry-Standard Fire Risk Assessments With Confidence

Fire safety is one of the most critical responsibilities for any property owner, landlord or facilities manager. A comprehensive Fire Risk Assessment is not only a legal requirement under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order; it’s essential for protecting people, safeguarding buildings, and ensuring long-term compliance. Octopus gives organisations a smarter, structured and professional way to complete and manage their Fire Risk Assessments across an entire estate.

Built around industry-standard methodology, the Octopus Fire Risk Assessment module guides users through a detailed, step-by-step process — ensuring all major areas of fire safety are reviewed thoroughly and consistently. From identifying hazards and assessing ignition sources to evaluating escape routes, emergency lighting, signage, fire alarm systems and extinguishers, each section is clearly laid out and easy to complete on-site.

Users can carry out assessments in the field, uploading photographs, notes, and evidence as they walk the property. If preferred, they can also take notes on-site and complete the full assessment later. All findings, recommendations and supporting documentation are stored securely within the property record, creating a complete audit trail that is easy to review, update and share.

Once submitted, the assessment feeds directly into the property’s overall compliance score, providing managers with instant visibility. Any actions or recommendations identified during the Fire Risk Assessment can be raised immediately as jobs or added to the maintenance schedule — ensuring issues are not forgotten and corrective work is tracked to completion.

Octopus also ensures Fire Risk Assessments never go out of date. Automated reminders notify users when the next review is due, and the Dashboard highlights overdue or upcoming assessments to support proactive planning.

For landlords, FM teams, risk assessors and engineers, Octopus provides structure, consistency and professional reporting standards across every property. The result is a safer estate, reduced liability, and complete confidence that your Fire Risk Assessments are handled properly, documented thoroughly and managed in line with UK fire safety legislation.
