+### Adding an additional script
+
+If you want to add an additional script that you will trigger from within your `worker.py` file, you need to do the following.
+See [Distributed-OMEZarrCreator](https://github.com/DistributedScience/Distributed-OMEZarrCreator) for an example of this in action with `add_downsampling.py`.
+
+- Add the file into your `worker` folder.
+- In `Dockerfile`, add `COPY your_script_name.py .` after line 56 (where similar copy commands are performed for the other scripts).
+- In `Dockerfile`, install any additional dependencies required by the new script.
+Follow the format of other install commands (e.g. `RUN python3.8 -m pip install`, `RUN apt install -y`)
+- Call the script from within your `worker.py` script using a similar format as your main call. e.g.
+
+```python
+cmd = (f"python3 your_script_name.py input_to_script --flag-for-script")
+printandlog(f"Running your_script_name", logger)
+logger.info(cmd)
+subp = subprocess.Popen(cmd.split(), stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stderr=subprocess.STDOUT)
+monitorAndLog(subp, logger)
