"Turning on" generally refers to opening the gas supply valve. The valves in most laboratories are quarter-turn ball valves with hand levers resembling those on water faucets. That being the case, the valve handle would be used.
If you are using "turning on" to mean lighting the burner, there are many options. The burner could be lit by nearly any ignition source with an open flame such as matches, candles, burning wood splints, cigarette lighter, barbecue pit lighter, etc. The most popular tool, though, is the striker. The striker has a cup to collect the gas and improve ignition.
