On Monday, April 8, a total solar eclipse will cross southern and eastern portions North America. It’ll be an awesome spectacle to witness, but it’s important for your employees working outdoors to do so safely while on the job to avoid severe eye damage.
The event is the result of the moon passing between Earth and the sun, thereby blocking the face of the sun. The entire event will last roughly two hours, with totality (when the moon completely blocks the sun) expected to last about four minutes.
