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.
