Kimberly-Clark implemented Sentinel Event and High Potential Incident (HIPO) reporting in 2008. This practice opened a communication stream across 66 North America/European facilities, prompting shared learning of nearmisses/ incidents. This presentation will introduce the practice of reporting sentinel events, from its 1996 inception at the Joint Commission, through Kimberly-Clark's 2008 implementation, and finally how Kimberly-Clark continues the use of Sentinel event reporting today. Reporting Sentinel and HIPO events has bridged the 'silo mentality' so prevalent in today's safety industry. This presentation will present Sentinel Event reporting from plant level and corporate level management. Safety Professionals will find this training useful as they focus their resources from a general overview of a wide array of incidents to the extreme focus on the critical few.
