To minimize the impact of this behavior on your personal and professional life, you should take steps to acknowledge and fix the issue. Start by expressing sincere regret for not attending to these reports; explain that your mistake does not reflect on your level of commitment to safety, and thank anyone who has brought the oversight to your attention. Then take concrete steps to ensure this never happens again - put in place checks, balances, procedures or systems as necessary - so that any potential for issues can be identified and swiftly acted upon. Most importantly however, re-evaluate your values and motives; make sure that safety is upheld above all else in both word and deed.
 
On a personal level however, it is also important to accept responsibility for having made an error- avoid excuses, lies or deflecting blame- in order process through the situation with integrity. Be sure also to find ways of forgiving yourself - seek out those close to you for understanding, accept self criticism without judgment as needed - since growth requires an individual's capacity of acknowledging mistakes without becoming overwhelmed by guilt or shame.
 
Ultimately there are often far-reaching impacts when something like this goes wrong; but if able handled openly transparently with reflection then perhaps even positive changes can be made from such negative occurrence.
