Elevating Safety Standards: nexAir’s Commitment to Workplace Safety
At nexAir, safety is not just a priority – it’s a core value that guides everything we do. We understand that the industrial gases and equipment we provide are critical to our customers’ operations, but they also come with inherent risks if not handled properly. That’s why we’ve made it our mission to elevate safety standards across the industries we serve, ensuring that our customers can work with confidence and peace of mind.
Comprehensive Safety Training
One of the key ways we promote workplace safety is through our comprehensive safety training programs. We believe that education and awareness are the foundation of a strong safety culture. Our training courses cover a wide range of topics, from gas handling and storage best practices to emergency response procedures and personal protective equipment (PPE) usage.
We offer both in-person and online training options to accommodate the diverse needs and schedules of our customers. Our in-person training sessions are led by experienced instructors who provide hands-on guidance and real-world examples to reinforce key safety concepts. Our online courses offer the flexibility of self-paced learning, allowing your team to complete training at their convenience.
Rigorous Equipment and Process Safety
Another critical aspect of workplace safety is ensuring the integrity and reliability of the equipment and processes used to handle industrial gases. At nexAir, we maintain the highest standards of equipment and process safety to protect our customers and their operations.
All of our gas cylinders, tanks, and delivery systems are designed, manufactured, and maintained in accordance with the strictest industry standards and regulations. We employ rigorous testing, inspection, and maintenance protocols to ensure the safe and reliable performance of our equipment throughout its lifecycle.
We also work closely with our customers to assess their gas handling processes and identify opportunities for safety improvements. Our team of safety experts can conduct on-site safety audits, provide recommendations for process enhancements, and assist with the implementation of safety best practices. By optimizing your gas handling processes, you can minimize the risk of leaks, spills, and other safety incidents.
Emergency Preparedness and Response
Despite the best safety efforts, accidents can still happen. That’s why emergency preparedness and response are critical components of nexAir’s commitment to workplace safety. We work with our customers to develop comprehensive emergency response plans that outline clear procedures for handling gas-related incidents.
Our team provides guidance on emergency shutdown procedures, evacuation protocols, and communication strategies to ensure a swift and effective response in the event of an emergency. We also offer emergency response training to help your team develop the skills and confidence needed to handle critical situations.
In addition, nexAir maintains a network of emergency response professionals who are available 24/7 to provide expert support and guidance in the event of a gas-related incident. Our rapid response capabilities ensure that you have the resources and expertise needed to minimize the impact of an emergency and resume normal operations as quickly as possible.

Everything we offer is a click away and it will arrive before you know it.
Behind every package of fresh meat, bag of pre-cut salad, and bottle of craft beer sits an invisible guardian – specialized gas mixtures that preserve flavor, extend shelf life, and ensure product safety. At nexAir, we work with food processors and packagers throughout the Southeast to develop custom gas solutions that address the unique challenges of food production. Our approach goes beyond simply supplying cylinders – we become partners in your quality control process.
The Critical Role of Gases in Food Preservation
Food spoilage begins the moment a product leaves the production line. Oxygen fuels bacterial growth, accelerates oxidation, and triggers enzymatic browning. Carbon dioxide inhibits microbial activity. Nitrogen displaces oxygen and maintains package integrity. Understanding the precise balance needed for each food product requires specialized knowledge of both gas properties and food science. Our team works at this intersection, helping you determine the optimal gas mixtures for your specific products.
Modified Atmosphere Packaging That Preserves Natural Quality
Consumers increasingly demand fresh, minimally processed foods without artificial preservatives. Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP) allows you to meet these demands by replacing the air inside packaging with carefully calibrated gas mixtures. For red meats, we supply high-oxygen blends that maintain the bright red color consumers associate with freshness. For prepared salads and sliced produce, low-oxygen mixtures prevent wilting and browning without affecting taste or texture. Our custom MAP solutions help your products maintain their natural appearance and flavor profile throughout their shelf life.
Ensuring Consistent Quality Through Precision Blending
Quality control in food production demands consistency – consumers expect the same taste, appearance, and freshness with every purchase. Gas mixtures that vary from batch to batch can undermine this consistency. Our automated blending systems deliver precise gas compositions every time, eliminating the variability that can affect product quality. We regularly calibrate and certify our equipment to food-grade standards, giving you confidence that the gas touching your products meets the highest purity requirements.
Technical Support When You Need It Most
Production issues rarely happen during business hours. That's why our team remains available to help troubleshoot gas-related challenges whenever they arise. When a bakery customer noticed inconsistent product volume during an overnight shift, our on-call technician identified a pressure fluctuation in their carbon dioxide supply and quickly implemented a solution. This responsive support helps prevent quality control failures that could otherwise result in product loss and delivery delays.
Partnering for Continuous Improvement
Food trends, processing technologies, and packaging materials constantly evolve. We work with our food industry customers to regularly evaluate gas solutions against changing requirements and opportunities for improvement. Our technical team keeps you informed about innovations in gas applications that might benefit your operation. This collaborative approach helps you stay ahead of challenges and continue meeting the high-quality standards your customers expect.
Maintaining quality control in food production requires vigilance, specialized knowledge, and reliable partners. At nexAir, we provide more than just industrial gases – we deliver application expertise, responsive service, and custom solutions that address the specific challenges of your food products. Contact our food industry specialists today to discuss how our gas solutions can strengthen your quality control program and help deliver the consistent product excellence your customers demand.
