My company SOP calls for a thrust reduction at 1500 AGL and clean and speed up at miss apch altitude, usually well above 3000 AGL ( all engines running). This procedure is almost PROC A NAP of ICAO DOC 8168.
Apart from that, I think we shouldn´t consider a Go Around as an emergency manouver, cause in this case we will try to avoid it as long as possible. Few years ago my company asked for reports when a GA was performed and, finally they decided not to do it because this was a kind of pressure against the crew criteria.
We should consider a GA as a normal procedure when a safe land is not guarantee.
