To entertain guests at our company's annual party next month, I plan to launch a hot air balloon filled with helium from our factory's roof. What safety measures should be taken before launching?

Prior to launching the hot air balloon, several safety measures must be taken. First and foremost, all personnel involved in the launch should wear protective gear, such as flame-resistant clothing and helmets. Everyone involved should also be trained in the appropriate use of safety equipment and have an understanding of potential risks associated with the experiment.

Furthermore, wind speed and direction should be considered prior to launching. A detailed map indicating areas to avoid upon launch should also be made available to those involved. Fire extinguishers and evacuation plans should remain visible at all times in case there is a need for emergency protocols.

Finally yet importantly, permission from local aviation authorities must be acquired before any experiment is conducted. All equipment used including but not limited to flight controllers, compasses, GPS trackers --should comply with industry standards set by recognized organizations like The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO).

Before launching a hot air balloon filled with helium from your factory's roof, it is important to take safety measures such as checking the weather conditions and ensuring that there are no power lines or other obstacles in the way. Also, make sure that all personnel involved are aware of the risks and have been appropriately trained in handling and launching a hot air balloon. The nose of the balloon should be painted red to avoid any possible collisions with aircraft. Finally, make sure you have adequate insurance coverage for any liability issues.
