Drifting without direction

Goals will help define the direction of your safety program. Without direction, you merely drift — leaving your safety results to chance or luck, which is a very risky way to run any business. 

Diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform (DRIFT) spectra are obtained when IR radiation is incident on a scattering sample at a specific angle and is reflected at all angles. The diffuse reflectance process involves transmission, scattering, and reflection [67]. The technique is used to analyze an intact lignin sample without modification [65]. To study a sample by DRIFT, the sample is either dispersed in KBr (e.g., MWL) or is analyzed directly (e.g., paper sheet) and placed at the focal point of the diffuse reflectance accessory. The scattered light from the sample is collected... 

The advantages are that it can be used with multisolvent gradients without baseline drift, it responds to virtually all solutes, and it needs to be calibrated only once for extended periods of use to obtain mass directly from the peak area.
