OSHA says that because 100-percent cotton clothing could pose an ignition hazard, using this instead of flame-resistant clothing is not allowed.
However, it is common practice to allow workers to wear 100-percent cotton clothing under the outer layer of flame-resistant clothing. Cotton can not be used as the outer protective layer, but it can be worn in a clothing system.
All in all, OSHA does not consider cotton clothing to be protective.
