No I wasnt green at all or had anyone hold my hand the first day.... Showed up at the shop that bright sunny day and was right in the bucket truck doing decorative streetlight bulb and ballast replacement that day with no problems whatsoever...

See, now that scares me...
- No safety training on bucket truck use and/or overhead dangers.
- No mention of any electrical training
- No mention of fall protection/PPE
- etc

Showed up and started working?
That's scary.
