Abstract (EN): The complexity of the fire safety legal framework in itself poses problems to non-professionals decision makers regarding its application. Thus, in an attempt to generalize its interpretation, this paper presents a methodology for non-professionals users aiming to identify the measures defined under the fire safety regulations. The proposed methodology, of a broad application nature, intends to be a user-friendly tool to those responsible for applying fire safety measures to buildings and premises as established in the fire safety technical regulation. A decision support protocol is designed to determine which fire safety measures apply, using a flowchart representing the operations sequence involved in the process.
