What should you do if you feel dizzy during training?

• A. Continue training without stopping
• B. Stop, rest, hydrate, and notify a supervisor
• C. Drink coffee and keep going
• D. Sit in shade and ignore symptoms

Answer: (B)

Safety comes first when you feel dizzy during training. Dizziness can signal dehydration, heat stress, or overexertion, and continuing work risks a fall or more serious illness. The best response is to stop, rest, hydrate, and notify a supervisor. Stop immediately and find a safe place to sit or lie down, then drink water or an electrolyte beverage and give your body time to recover. Tell your supervisor what happened so they can assess you, determine if you need medical evaluation, and decide when it’s safe to resume training. If dizziness is accompanied by confusion, chest pain, severe vomiting, or fainting, seek medical care right away.

Choosing to keep going ignores a warning sign and can worsen your condition, drinking coffee doesn’t correct dehydration or replenish fluids, and sitting in the shade while ignoring symptoms delays necessary care and could allow the issue to progress.
