What Are the 5 P’s of Disaster?

The 5 P’s help workplaces prepare for emergencies including chemical spills, fires, storms, and environmental incidents:

1. People – protect workers and the public

2. Property – safeguard buildings, equipment, assets

3. Processes – maintain business continuity

4. Patrons – protect customers and visitors

5. Profit – minimise financial impact

Using the 5 P’s helps organisations structure their emergency and spill-preparedness planning.
