Business Continuity Planning
Peel Health and Business Continuity Planning
The process outlined in First Steps to Business Continuity Planning was developed as a first step for small and medium sized businesses to start to think about preparing for pandemic influenza. However the process may be applicable to other types of emergencies.
What is Business Continuity Planning (BCP)?
BCP is a continuous process that includes advance plans, arrangements and procedures to maintain business functions and minimize interruptions when internal or external influences impact a business' capacity to operate.
Why do Business Continuity Planning?
BCP helps to ensure timely and orderly continuation or resumption of your key operations when your business is impacted by unplanned or unanticipated incidents or events.
To start working on a Business Continuity Plan for your employer, refer to our First Steps to Business Continuity Planning overview brochure available electronically or by calling the Region of Peel - Public Health Department at: 905-799-7700.
