To prevent physical harm (like getting hit by a bus) to the person you're touching? You need to be more specific. But generally any unwanted touching is called a battery, and in the workplace might be sexual harrassment; in a life threatening situation most people would forgive the touching because of the samaritan nature of its purpose (saving the person's life).
