How to address safety culture problems on construction teams

Our crew has been working together for three years and we're good at the work but we've developed this culture where nobody calls out safety shortcuts and I've watched guys skip steps that could get someone hurt. I'm not the foreman but I've been doing this longer than most of them and I don't know how to address this without seeming like I'm trying to boss everyone around.
