Health and safety concerns are high priority. The Houseboy may be instructed to submit to a Temperature Check whenever he is observed or reported to be ill or unsteady, or whenever any inspection or other activity reveals an articulable symptom of fever or illness. Preference will be given to the use of a rectal thermometer for accuracy, though an alternate method may be used when a rectal thermometer is unavailable or inadvisable, such as during an enema or when traveling with Master away from home.
A Temperature Check may be included as part of any Full Body Inspection (Rule #16) at Master’s option, with results to be noted on the Strip Search Record Sheet. A Temperature Check must always be verbally announced prior to insertion of any thermometer. For safety reasons, untrained volunteers are not permitted to assist with a Temperature Check except to actually read out loud and announce the temperature for recording. Master appreciates those who volunteer to assist with any necessary follow up, such as the preparation and use of ice packs and comfort or nutrition items (like chicken soup), and bathing or enema prep if necessary
Nothing in this rule shall excuse a Houseboy from submitting to a Temperature Check as part of an approved Educational Initiative (Rule #119) or when being medically evaluated by a Temporary Master like a martial arts or swimming instructor, who may follow their own criteria. As always, the provisions of the Paramount Rule shall apply to any Temperature Check. When Master is away, a Houseboy who remains at home and suspects he is running a fever may self check his temperature or request assistance from whoever is available, as long as Master is notified of the circumstances as soon as possible.
A Houseboy who is traveling with Master away from home and who is observed or reported to be ill or unsteady, may be administered an immediate Temperature Check or Body Part Inspection (Rule #116) in circumstances of injury or urgency, using whatever means and methods are available at the time and location. The need to evaluate the Houseboy for health and safety must remain a higher priority than considerations of physical privacy and modesty, even if this results in temporary exposure or embarrassment. As a concession for safety similar to the protocol for Fires And Emergencies (Rule #114), the same priority remains true in the event Master or a guest becomes ill or injured, and the Houseboy shall not be subject to discipline should this occur.
A supply of disposable non-latex gloves shall be kept for use when needed. The Houseboy is responsible for the sterilization, storage and proper labeling of all temperature check devices, and must notify Master whenever replacement or replenishment of thermometers or gloves is needed.
