Blameless company culture can help on this a lot. FB had “move fast and break things” so people would not feel bad about breaking things and instead would focus on fixing them. Other companies may have improved versions of this culture.

Think of this in contrast to working at a place where, if there is a production bug the lead’s first instinct once finding said bug is to git blame who did it.

Leadership should be encouraging breakages as long as there is a review of the bug, remediation, and a fix put in place to prevent it from happening again. That should be rewarded in any performance reviews.
