nexAir’s Welding Safety Solutions: Protecting Your Team and Equipment

Welding operations involve numerous safety considerations from flash burns and respiratory hazards to fire risks and gas handling. As your gas supplier, nexAir offers products and guidance to help address these challenges while supporting your existing safety programs. Our focus remains on providing the right gases and sharing practical knowledge that can help your welding teams work more safely.

Gas Safety Information and Best Practices

The proper handling and storage of welding gases is fundamental to workplace safety. We provide our customers with information on gas-specific safety requirements, including proper storage temperatures, ventilation needs, and cylinder handling procedures. Our delivery personnel can answer questions about cylinder restraint recommendations and help identify potential issues with your current gas storage arrangements.

For customers seeking to improve their gas safety, we offer reference materials on topics like cylinder securing methods, appropriate regulators for different gas types, and best practices for identifying and addressing leaks. These resources draw from industry standards and our experience serving welding operations across various industries.

Welding Gas Selection for Safety Considerations

Different welding gases and mixtures present varying safety profiles. Our team can discuss the relative safety characteristics of various shielding gases and help you weigh these factors alongside performance requirements. For operations concerned about specific hazards, we can recommend gas alternatives that might reduce certain risks while still meeting your welding requirements.

For example, we can explain how some argon-based mixtures may reduce spark projection compared to other options, or how certain gas choices might affect fume generation in different welding processes. This information helps your team make more informed decisions when selecting gases for your applications.

Safety Data Sheets and Regulatory Information

We provide comprehensive safety data sheets for all our gas products, detailing hazard information, handling precautions, and emergency procedures. Beyond these standard documents, our team stays informed about evolving regulations affecting industrial gases and can share updates that might impact your compliance requirements.

For customers with specific questions about gas-related regulations or documentation needs, we offer clarification and resources to help navigate these requirements. This support helps ensure your team has accurate information about the gases used in your welding operations.

Guidance on Gas-Related PPE Requirements

Different gases require specific personal protective equipment considerations. Our specialized KnowHow™ includes information about appropriate PPE for handling various gas types, from recommended glove materials to respiratory considerations when working with specific gases. While we don’t supply protective equipment, we can provide information to help your safety team make appropriate selections.

We also offer guidance on detection equipment options for monitoring gas levels in work areas, helping you identify suitable monitoring approaches for different gas types based on their specific properties and potential hazards.

Gas Safety Training Resources

To support your existing safety programs, we offer informational sessions covering gas-specific safety topics. These sessions focus on practical aspects like understanding cylinder markings, proper connection techniques, and leak testing procedures. Our goal is to complement your safety training with specific information about the gases we supply.

These resources help welding teams Forge Forward with safety knowledge directly related to the gases they use daily. By understanding the specific properties and hazards of each gas, your team can better integrate this knowledge into your established safety protocols.

Supporting Your Comprehensive Safety Program

While gas safety represents just one component of a complete welding safety program, proper gas management plays a critical role in overall workplace protection. We aim to support your internal safety initiatives by providing reliable products, accurate information, and practical guidance related to the gases you use.

By focusing on our area of expertise—industrial gases—we help you address an essential aspect of welding safety while you implement the broader safety measures needed to protect your valuable team members and equipment.
