plied with green and white self-adhesive vinyl signage and fixing screws. In the event of an emergency, access to the turn lever is gained by breaking the clear plas- tic dome cover. Pauline Richardson, Product Manager for UNION, commented: “Te primary function of the 8070 is to
allow people to access an escape route quickly and safely in the event of an emer- gency. “Having supplied product for the house
