I know plenty of outfits with all sorts of books on the shelf full of rules and when the boss wants to break all those rules they just go along with it, scared to anger the man or lose their jobs.
Sometimes its quite a dance to get the job done (for the boss) and do it safely and humanely (for the department) - but its possible.
This rings true. We are in the process of gearing up for IS-BAO, and I just wrote our ops manual. Since we have no scheduler/dispatcher, enforcing our duty and rest limits will be up to us. We'll see how it goes...
