You do want an emergency switch for the furnace. It may be possible that
another switch was installed at a different location? There should be one on
or at the furnace and another outside of a room that the furnace is enclosed
in or if it's in an open basement, you may find one at an entrance to the
basement. If it needs to be connected , you can break into the circuit at
the disconnect that's near the furnace. It should be connected in series
with the other switch, so both must be on to power the furnace

There is a switch a few feet from the furnace, right at the power
entry point. Aside from that, there is no other switch.

Again, I find it hard that this would be overlooked, especially if
somebody took the time to write on the wire what it was for.

All it takes is a scheduling conflict, so that the person
who normally does the job sends a lackey instead.
