Engine-out/emergency turn procedures?

As pilots, we have specific company engine-out and emergency turn procedures - the former are optional (our discretion) in my company whereas the latter are mandatory. These procedures can be unique to each company and, as far as I know, ATC are largely unaware of the procedures laid down by operators.

This seems odd to me - I can't understand why our company performance guys don't work with an airport's ATC service to come up with some standard procedures for each type of aircraft. That way, everybody's more aware/in the loop about what's likely to happen if it all starts to get very exciting, very quickly.

Am I overseeing something?

Cheers
