• What are the reasons we are often reluctant?

Exercise


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!
