Which member of the HRS team is positioned to see the hose reel?

The Control Pendant Operator is positioned to see the hose reel because this role involves managing and controlling the operations related to the deployment and retraction of the hose. This operator is typically stationed where they can have a clear line of sight to the hose reel and the associated equipment, allowing them to effectively monitor the status and performance of the system. This visibility is essential for ensuring safety and operational efficiency during fuel transfer operations.

The tasks of the other roles do not necessitate direct vision of the hose reel. For example, the driver is primarily focused on maneuvering the vehicle, hose handlers are directly involved with the physical handling of the hoses, and the brake control operator is responsible for managing the brakes of the vehicle. Their functions might require awareness of the hose reel's status, but they do not have the same direct visual capability as the Control Pendant Operator.
