No. OSHA applies to employers who pay employees to perform work. Volunteers are not covered, except for very limited coverage of volunteer fire fighters under one particular regulation.

Is the Industrial Safety laws enforced in the workplace and by whom?

OSHA laws are enforced at the work place but they are not always enforced by OSHA directly. Often times the OSHA regulations are enforced through a state level agency; furthermore, their enforcement depends on the presence of conscientious employees and not just the employer. Usually, OSHA regulations can only be randomly enforced, so if there is an issue at a workplace it is often best that the employee report any problems to OSHA, and they will handle it from there, without giving out your information.
