Redundancy/backup means not making mistakes because another spots your human error despite checklists/guidelines. It doesn't matter how many times you tinker with checklists/guidelines, you'll have a far smaller effect on safety than having two people backing each other up.

I know it depends on the discipline, but not all doctors work alone, surely? Surgical teams spring to mind for starters
-
The vast majority of us don’t.
-
But like any regulated environment, there must be adequate supervision, no? Somebody with eyes on every now and then to make sure all is well?
-
Er, yes. That’s what consultants do.
-
And who supervises them and their work?
-
My belief is that most organizations (across most industries) don’t offer meaningful supervision to supervisors. I’d be delighted to be proven wrong!

I can only speak knowledgeably of 1 regulated industry and that was pretty good up to 2nd line, but fell fairly flat once you ventured higher. All too common to find specific supervision skills are not well trained at best, wrongfully assumed to be obvious at worst.
