The document, called the Gas Safety Plan, highlights current and committed work and connects the dots among all of PG&E's efforts to ensure safe and reliable operations of its gas system. It addresses PG&E's cul- ture, risk management, training, compliance, records, pipeline mainte- nance and modernization, emergency planning, and how the utility incorporates and measures safety in all of these areas.

"Every single one of us is responsible for safety," said Stavropoulos, who took the reins of PG&E's gas opera- tions a year ago. Training: PG&E's plan to ensure that its workforce is highly skilled and experi- enced includes building a technologically advanced training facility—targeted for completion in 2015— that provides hands-on learning experiences in "real world" scenarios. PG&E plans to move the gas transmission control center, distribution control center and dispatch center into one facility by mid- 2013. Having all three func- tions side-by-side will result in a tightly coordinated front line for system awareness and emergency response, Stavropoulos said.

The monumental progress we've made over the past two years shows we know how to get things done. Our Gas Safety Plan proves we know what more we need to do."
