If you can turn it off, I wouldn't say anything.

If you tied a rope to the lever you could operate it no problem!

Valve installed backwards.

I don't see the directional arrow!

Really though, it is safer installed that way so long as it can be operated easily. If not, that is what I would report "valve can not be accessed/operated easily in the event of emergency.
