Harvey Freeman Award

In 2010, Dutra’s Safety Department introduced an annual safety award in remembrance of long term employee and member of the extended Dutra family, Harvey Freeman.

In his honor it was entitled the annual “Harvey Freeman Safety Award” and is presented at the company’s annual meeting. Harvey always exhibited the qualities of a dedicated employee whose main concern was the safety of his co-workers. These qualities included integrity, honesty, mutual respect and leadership.

Harvey was pro-active in safety and open minded in understanding that safety and production could and should exist together. This award is given on an annual basis to a current Dutra employee who demonstrates the qualities of which Harvey would be proud.
