• Abstract:

  In this work, it was developed a computer platform for risk management

  and analysis the risk of loss of human life, according to the new ABNT-NBR

  5419:2015 standard applying a calculation routine with the purpose of facilitating

  the job of the professionals who need to follow this standard in the execution and

  verification of the necessity of LPS project, Lightning Protection System, in the

  structure to be analyzed. This computational routine was created by using the

  MATLAB program, in order to dimension the entire LPS using the software tool called

  GUIDE. Through the case study according to the standard and other books, the

  program was validated. This research is an important contribution to the speed and

  accuracy in risk management calculations and LPS dimension.
