As far as a fatigue policy, if you need to call fatigued, call fatigued. If you get pushback contact your supervisor.
If you’re looking for a “work rules” policy, have you submitted a “suggestion for improvement” through the Proper channels? Ie the occurrence reporting link? That would be my suggestion if you see the need for a specific improvement.
Management will not see a “suggestion for improvement” on a report and suddenly realize there is no fatigue policy. Of course everyone knows that. It’s done on purpose so as not to have to follow any written guidance. It’s also a good deterrent. All These issues are beyond obvious to everyone. It’s gotten to the point that the only reasoning is that they just don’t care. This stuff can easily be resolved with a little effort.
