Comments as follows, but not as a teacher:
1. Note the joint requirement that both the rep is unavailable
and there is a potential hazardous situation.
2. I believe "where" means "in any situation where"
3. Putting "not" in the sentence would suggest, to me, that safety work was not being performed, whereas I believe the intent is that the construction work being performed was not being performed with due regard to safety. It's a subtle difference.
