True or False: Pants should be tucked into shoe tops to prevent spatter from getting into shoes.

• A. True
• B. Sometimes
• C. False
• D. Not applicable

Answer: (C)

The idea is unsafe. Tucking pant legs into the tops of shoes can trap hot spatter inside the boot, raising the risk of burns and making cleanup and removal hazardous. The safer approach is to wear flame‑resistant pants that extend over the tops of the boots, with the cuffs resting outside the footwear so any spatter hits the outer fabric and can be brushed off. This helps keep skin and inner footwear protected. The other options don’t reflect standard safety practice: the statement is not something you’d do, and saying “sometimes” or “not applicable” isn’t appropriate for essential PPE habits.
