The spoilers should retract as soon as the power levers are advanced (1 switch) but if they don't you will get the takeoff warning horn (separate switch). If you did continue the takeoff and the aircraft lifted off, the spoilers would retract as soon as any weight on wheels switch sensed off the ground. It is pretty safe.
