Speaking Up for Safety
• Right mindset – a conviction that safety is everyone’s responsibility (I am my brother’s keeper.)
• The four keys to giving someone safety feedback are:1. Stay positive & show concern
2. Be clear about the unsafe behavior and its possible consequences
3. Be specific about the behavior change needed
4. Ask for a commitment to change
• Timely – Wait and you may be TOO LATE!
