Which of the following statements is true regarding a third-party repair person hired for a limited job at a facility?

The statement indicating that the repair person does not need criminal clearance is accurate because, when a third-party repair person is hired for a limited job, typically their role is confined to the specifics of the repair work. Unlike staff members who have regular and sustained interaction with residents, third-party workers are not usually required to undergo the same background checks or criminal clearance procedures, since they are brief visitors whose primary responsibility is servicing the facility’s equipment or infrastructure.

It is also important to note that while the repair person could be on-site, they would generally be supervised during their time at the facility, and their interactions with residents would be limited. This approach protects residents while allowing necessary maintenance to occur without imposing the same stringent regulations that are required for full-time employees who engage consistently with residents.
