What to do when someone is in shock/fainting?
*Note: DO NOT stop the person from falling, help him/her fall slowly. If there is a crowd around, get them to spread out to give the casualty some air.

- The person must lie on their back - preferably with their feet raised - to ensure enough blood gets to the brain.
- Make sure the person is warm, comfortable and covered by a blanket if possible. Loosen restrictive clothing. (such as: ties, shoes, watch etc.)
- Do not give them anything to drink because they could run a risk of choking.
- If the person vomits or bleeds from the mouth, he or she must be placed on their side to prevent choking. (aka: recovery position)
- The person should recover from it after a few minutes. If not, seek help immediately.
