Air receiver tank release

I have three pneumatically operated machines that are changed out to manufacture different products. Each machine has a receiver tank located on the top of the machine. When we disconnect the compressed air line, all the stored compressed air in the tank is released through the hose at the quick connect.
Can you recommend a valve set up to better control the release of the compressed air? Also, would a pre-start health and safety review need to be completed if any valves were added?
Thanks.
