In a well-known marketing campaign, cotton was coined “The Fabric of Our Lives” largely because of its prevalence in many apparel choices. This extends to workwear and personal protective equipment ( P P E), where cotton based safety apparel is becoming the norm. While we often turn to cotton for our work clothing, it may not be the optimal material to protect lives when exposure to flame, extreme heat, molten metal, hot liquids, and arc flash are real possibilities.

Many workers who daily face exposure to flame, extreme heat, molten metal, hot liquids, and arc flash routinely wear a simple cotton T shirt and briefs as their “protective” base layer. They may also wear typical cotton “greens” or jumpsuits, shirts and coveralls that are chemically treated to be flame resistant. This common P P E combination is relatively cheaper and allowed under current industry safety standards and regulations. The question is – does it offer the level of protection required for the risk?
