+## Safe importing of the worker module
+
+When running the worker programmatically with the scheduler, you must keep in mind that the
+import must be protected with `if __name__ == '__main__'`. The scheduler runs on it's own process
+(using `multiprocessing` from the stdlib), so the new spawned process must able to safely import the module without
+causing any side effects (starting a new process on top of the main ones).
+
+```python
+...
+
+# When running `with_scheduler=True` this is necessary
+if __name__ == '__main__':
+    worker = Worker(queues=[queue], connection=redis)
+    worker.work(with_scheduler=True)
+
+...
+# When running without the scheduler this is fine
+worker = Worker(queues=[queue], connection=redis)
+worker.work()
+```
