Here is an article that talks about ZAP and whether or not they make for an effective safety symbol.
In the 1980βs, a communication supervisor at Ontario Hydro (Hydro One) created a campaign featuring a cartoon bird named, βZAP the Safety Birdβ. Designed as a safety initiative aimed at keeping children aware and safe from electrical hazards, ZAP is also typically found on hazard labels in Canada.
In the safety campaign, ZAP was a pelican with a red ball cap worn backwards, flying overhead spotting electrical hazards and flying down to warn children before they were injured.
