Based on the case study below I need to come up with 6 hazards.I managed to identify 4 hazards but I need two more.
In addition the question requires to analyze all Six risk in risk in terms of

I would appreciate if a tutor could help me complete the table.
Thank you
Case Study 1
Alex runs a small domestic cleaning business. The business is getting busier again with new bookings and regulars who paused their service are now wanting to have their homes cleaned again. Alex has been keeping up to date with the latest COVID-19 public health advice but she is unsure about what this means for her work health and safety duties.
Alex locates and reviews Safe Work Australia’s resource kit for COVID-19, including the guidance for providing in house services. She reviews the example scripts and it starts her thinking about the ways she interacts with clients.
Alex has great regulars who she’s worked with for years, but she is still worried that some people might be hesitant or forget to tell her if they’re unwell before her cleaning teams arrive. Alex decides to get on the front foot and put systems in place to keep her workers and clients as safe as possible. Knowing lots of her regulars are actually working from home, she asks all clients to leave a key for the cleaning team so they can enter the home without needing to interact with her workers (even if they’re home). She also suggests owners consider going for a walk while cleaning is underway and gets her workers to text the owners when they’re on their way to the job.
She tells her workers that if they arrive at a home and they believe people there may be unwell or are self-isolating, to not enter the home and to call her straight away. She will then call the client to discuss the situation before any work is done.
To smooth the way for the new arrangements, Alex updates her social media pages, and takes time to discuss health and hygiene protocols with her new clients over the phone when they make a booking. She also sets arrangements out in an email to her existing customer base. She includes headshots of her workers in the material with a banner reading “Let’s keep each other safe” and also takes the opportunity to pass on her bank details for direct deposit so her workers don’t have to handle cash.
Conduct a workplace risk assessment and record the results, including:

Strategies for minimising the risk
Analysis of residual risk
1
Clients not self isolating even if they are not well
Likelihood:
Impact:
Risk Rating:
Workers should wear mask in order to protect themselves from contagious diseases Worker still gets sick even after using the mask.
2
Angry Client
Likelihood:
Impact:
Risk Rating:
Call Alex and ask if it is safe to carry out the duties or whether she wants to reschedule the job Client might remain aggressive if Alex says to continue the job
3
Biological Hazard – Example client smokes in the house and the worker might be allergy to smoke from the cigarette
Likelihood:
Impact:
Risk Rating:
Client can use the required PPE to avoid inhaling the smoke while working the clients house The PPE might not be 100% effective to stop the worker from inhaling the smoke in the house
4
Tripping Hazard from the clusters in the clients house – If a worker goes to a clients house for the first time,he/she might not know about the clients house therefore there might be a risk of tripping over clusters or other objects
Likelihood:
Impact:
Risk Rating:
Worker must assess the surrounding before starting work at the clients place.And if theres a need the worker can ask the client to clear the objects which are seen as risk. The client might not want to change or remove the items the worker requested to.
