Leather work gloves are widely used in workplaces where employees handle rough materials, tools, cartons, timber, building materials and other items that can create friction and abrasion.
However, not every leather glove provides the same protection.
The correct glove should be selected according to:
- Work activity
- Material being handled
- Required dexterity
- Abrasion risk
- Cut risk
- Heat exposure
- Glove construction
- Cuff design
- Product performance specification
For company orders, Bansi Suppliers can help procurement teams compare suitable glove types according to the actual work being performed.
Types of Leather Work Gloves Available
Different leather gloves serve different workplace purposes.
Single Palm Leather Gloves
Single palm leather gloves are commonly used for suitable general handling and workplace tasks.
They may be considered for:
- Construction work
- Loading and offloading
- Carton handling
- Tool handling
- Warehouse operations
- Maintenance
- General site work
They provide a practical option where workers require basic leather palm protection without the additional palm reinforcement found in double-palm designs.
Double Palm Leather Gloves
Double palm leather gloves have additional material over the palm area and may be selected for tasks involving repeated contact with rough materials.
Typical applications may include:
- Construction
- Material handling
- Loading
- Warehousing
- Logistics
- Maintenance work
- Industrial handling
The additional palm layer can provide greater durability in the reinforced area compared with a similar single-palm design.
Rigger Leather Gloves
Rigger gloves are commonly used for suitable construction, material handling, logistics and general industrial work.
They may be useful when handling:
- Timber
- Building materials
- Cartons
- Tools
- Equipment
- Pallets
- General workplace materials
Rigger gloves should still be selected according to the actual hazard rather than assuming they are suitable for every handling task.
Welding Leather Gloves
Welding leather gloves are a specialist type of leather glove intended for suitable welding and fabrication applications.
They are different from ordinary general-purpose leather work gloves.
Where welding, sparks or heat exposure is involved, check the exact glove specification and required performance before approval.
An ordinary leather glove should not automatically be substituted for a properly specified welding glove.
General Industrial Leather Gloves
Industrial leather work gloves may be used for suitable handling, maintenance, workshop and operational activities.
Possible users include:
- Factory workers
- Maintenance teams
- Warehouse personnel
- Construction workers
- Workshop employees
- Logistics teams
- Stores personnel
- Project workers
The appropriate glove should always be matched to the task.
Leather Work Gloves for Construction Companies
Construction companies frequently require leather gloves for workers handling tools and rough materials.
Suitable applications may include:
- General material handling
- Tool handling
- Loading and offloading
- Timber handling
- Moving building materials
- General site support
- Maintenance activities
However, construction sites contain many different hand hazards.
Where workers handle sharp sheet metal, glass, sharp edges, blades or similar materials, a properly selected Cut Resistant Glove may be more appropriate than an ordinary leather work glove.
For wider construction requirements, visit our Construction Safety Equipment Suppliers Kenya page.
Leather Gloves for Warehouses & Logistics
Warehouse employees may handle cartons, pallets, straps, equipment, packaging and other goods throughout a shift.
Leather work gloves may be suitable for selected:
- Loading
- Offloading
- Pallet handling
- General stores work
- Material movement
- Yard operations
- Warehouse maintenance
Grip, dexterity, abrasion resistance and cut protection should be considered according to the materials being handled.
Where workers regularly use blades or handle sharp packaging materials, another glove type may be required.
For complete operational requirements, visit our Warehouse & Logistics PPE Supplier Kenya page.
Industrial Leather Gloves for Factories
Factories use gloves for many different activities, including material handling, maintenance, assembly, stores operations and production support.
Leather gloves may be suitable for selected tasks involving:
- Rough materials
- Tools
- General handling
- Maintenance
- Loading
- Workshop operations
The exact glove requirement should be determined by the workplace risk assessment and task.
For wider factory requirements, visit our Industrial Safety Equipment Suppliers Kenya page.
Leather Gloves for Workshops & Maintenance Teams
Workshop and maintenance personnel may require leather gloves when handling tools, equipment and rough materials.
Suitable applications may include selected:
- Mechanical maintenance
- General repairs
- Equipment handling
- Fabrication support
- Tool handling
- Workshop operations
Where the task involves welding, high temperatures, sharp materials, chemicals or electrical hazards, use a glove specifically selected and documented for that hazard.
Important: Leather Gloves Are Not Suitable for Every Hazard
The word leather describes the glove material. It does not automatically confirm a particular protection level.
Do not assume an ordinary leather work glove provides:
- Certified cut resistance
- Chemical resistance
- Electrical insulation
- Arc protection
- Flame resistance
- A particular heat-resistance level
- Needle or puncture protection
If one of these hazards is present, check the exact product specification and required performance before selecting the glove.
Leather Gloves Around Moving Machinery
Gloves can create an additional hazard around some rotating or moving machinery.
Loose gloves may become caught in moving components.
Employees working around machinery should follow the workplace risk assessment, machine guarding requirements, safe operating procedures and company PPE rules.
Do not assume that wearing gloves is always safer around every machine.
Leather Gloves vs Cut-Resistant Gloves
Leather work gloves and cut-resistant gloves should not be treated as interchangeable.
Leather work gloves may be suitable for selected rough handling, abrasion and general workplace tasks.
Cut-resistant gloves are designed for work where an identified cut hazard requires a specific level of cut protection.
Tasks involving sheet metal, glass, blades or sharp edges may require documented cut performance rather than a general leather glove.
Browse our Cut Resistant Gloves Kenya options where cut hazards are present.
Leather Work Gloves vs Welding Gloves
General leather gloves may look similar to some welding gloves, but their intended use can be different.
Welding work may involve:
- Sparks
- Hot materials
- Radiant heat
- Hot metal
- Extended cuff requirements
For welding applications, choose a glove specifically designed and documented for the welding process and expected exposure.
Do not approve an ordinary handling glove simply because it is made from leather.
How to Choose Leather Work Gloves
Before placing a company order, determine what the employee will actually be doing.
Consider the following.
1. Work Activity
Is the glove intended for construction, loading, warehouse handling, fabrication, maintenance or another task?
2. Main Hazard
Identify whether the main concern is abrasion, rough handling, cuts, heat or another hazard.
3. Glove Construction
Determine whether the task requires a single palm, reinforced palm, rigger design, welding design or another glove construction.
4. Dexterity
Employees handling small components may require greater finger movement than workers handling large materials.
5. Cuff Requirement
Some tasks may require greater wrist or forearm coverage.
6. Required Performance
Where a workplace standard or documented protection level is required, include it in your RFQ.
7. Quantity
For company orders, provide the number of pairs required by department or work team.

Leather Gloves for Procurement Teams
Procurement officers should avoid purchasing one glove type for every employee without considering the task.
For example:
Loading department
May require suitable leather or handling gloves.
Fabrication department
May require appropriately specified welding or fabrication gloves.
Sharp-material handling team
May require cut-resistant gloves.
Chemical-handling department
May require gloves confirmed as compatible with the exact chemical and exposure conditions.
This task-based approach helps companies procure appropriate hand protection rather than relying on one general glove for every department.
