Food & Beverage Consortium
Food & Beverage
Our EMC Food and Beverage Consortium has truly enjoyed some excellent networking events over the past several years! We have shared best practices, visited plants across the Province, connected in group settings and on a one-to-one basis. The topics – all relevant and timely – have ultimately focused on what it takes to be competitive in the food industry today.
Together with our hosts, I would like to invite you to mark your calendars and join us at one of our upcoming Events this year! You can find detailed information on each session on our Food Sector Calendar.
As always, we welcome your input and feedback, and appreciate learning from your experiences. If you are interested in hosting or in sharing best practices at any time, please email me – I would be thrilled to hear from you!
Finally, just a note, if you have not had the chance to register online as either a Member or as a Member of our Online Community, please take a moment to do so, that we may keep you abreast of our latest news. And also, in light of CASL Legislation, please drop me a note to let me know that you would like to receive our Food Sector Mailings and EMC Update – we don’t want you to miss anything!
Welcome once again to EMC and our Food Sector Initiative!

The Future of Ergonomics
As workplaces evolve through changes in technology and work organization, ergonomics programs are being challenged to adapt. Workers are no longer confined to traditional desks and fixed workstations— they work from home, in vehicles, at hoteling stations, and on mobile devices, introducing new physical, cognitive, and psychosocial risk factors that are not always addressed by traditional ergonomics approaches. At the same time, emerging technologies such as AI-based video task analysis, wearable sensors, and exoskeletons promise new ways to identify risk and enhance human performance. But what do these tools truly offer?
Refrigeration System Ammonia Leaks
