The operator is familiar with the physical and chemical properties of the product and understands all the safety issues set down in the materials safety data sheet (MSDSs), associated with this chemical.
The operator would:

respond to emergency situations
Generally the operator would be part of a team during startup and shutdown procedures and may be expected to be capable of performing all parts of this unit. At all times they would be liaising and cooperating with other members of the team.
In a typical scenario, an operator in a gas odourising facility monitors the daily inventory of the odourising agent in the storage vessel. The operator also:
checks and maintains the odourising rate of the injection pumps
facilitates bulk transfers to maintain working levels
initiates scheduled duty and standby cycles for the injection equipment.
