• A.M. Ortega Construction had a great year for our safety record. With more then 140 employees and over 200,000 man hours, our injury rate went down 70% from 2007. GREAT JOB to all the men and women working together and keeping safety a top priority.
• Maurice and Linda Ortega are very proud of the accomplishment their employees have completed
• Inclement weather traffic brings additional burden to the everyday drivers on our busy highways. During these times, we ask all of our employees, customers, families & friends to take extra time getting around and be more aware of your surroundings.
• Take precautions during the rainy season and it can save you from being stranded or worse, involved in an accident. 1) Replace worn and old wiper blades. 2) Make sure you have good tires that are well balanced. 3) Check that Brakes and Head lights are in good working order.

• Cell Phone Use: It is recommended that when refueling your vehicle you refrain from the use of cell phones. Phones can generate static electricity causing a fire (something you don't want while refueling.) Hold the conversations until your refueling is complete and away from the pumps.
• RAINY SEASON: Southern California suffered a major fire storm in October of 2007. With all the fires burning the brushland slides are common during a heavy rain storm. Please be careful while driving in the county and mountains.
