According to 2021 research by The Center for Construction Research and Training, Hispanic construction workers make up 30% of the workforce but are 20% more likely to be fatally injured than non-Hispanic workers. How many of those fatalities could have been prevented if we communicated better with these folks that English is their second language on our job sites?

In this episode of the Concrete Logic Podcast, I discuss the language barrier issue and a possible solution with Oscar Garcia from Need2Say. Oscar also shares a different perspective on Mexican immigration and why we may have more difficulty finding construction workers in the future.
