People usually view psychological safety from the manager- report lens, but that's actually the easy part. Some training and good intentions on both sides will usually get you most of the way there.
Often the biggest challenge is team dynamics. An introvert on a team might feel his psychological safety reduced by what he perceives as relentless criticism my an extraverted teammate. However, said extrovert might view psychological safety as being free to express his opinions as he sees them.
I've had to manage for PS at several organizations. It doesn't mean that everyone is free to say/do whatever they want whenever they want. It's team-oriented.
It takes a lot of work to establish if you don't have it. It's incredibly easy to lose if you abuse it in any way. But it's an awesome way to work.
