Recovery Postition 1.Kneel down next to casualty. 2.Bring the casualties closest arm to a right angle on the floor. 3.Get the hand furthest away from you and pull it over,put the back of the hand on the cheek closest to you and hold it there. 4.With your other hand pull the leg furthest away from you up into a tryangle position with the knee facing the ceilling. 5.Whilst holding the hand to the cheek and the other hand holding the knee pull over onto their side making sure the hand is still on the cheek. 6.Check to make sure airways are clear and stay with casualty at all time untill help arrives.

Why put a casualty into the recovery position? It prevents the tongue from blocking the casualties airways. It keeps the casualty in a safe position if they need to be left alone. It keeps them in a stable position. It helps the drainage of fluids, such as blood or vomit, from their mouth.
