There is no question. Assuming you are asking if this is legal, the answer is yes. It is perfectly acceptable to make you work alone, even if doing so is unsafe. However, if because of the failure to schedule people to work with you you are unable to take legally required rest periods and meal periods, you may be entitled to penalty wages paid by your employer to you. If you are not an exempt employee, then your employer has an obligation to provide you with a reasonable opportunity to take a ten-minute, on-the-clock, uninterrupted, duty-free rest period for every four hours (or major portion thereof) that you work. As a non-exempt employee you also must be given a reasonable opportunity to take a thirty-minute, off-the-clock, uninterrupted and duty-free meal period on any workday when you work more than 5.5 hours. If you are non-exempt and you are not given the reasonable opportunity to take the rest periods described above, you are entitled to a penalty wage in the amount of one hour of pay at your regular rate for every day you were denied at least on such rest period. You are entitled to another hour of pay for every day you were denied the meal period as described. Good luck to you.
