The International Building Code (IBC) states the following:
104.1 General.
The building official is hereby authorized and directed to enforce the provisions of this code. The building official shall have the authority to render interpretations of this code and to adopt policies and procedures in order to clarify the application of its provisions. Such interpretations, policies and procedures shall be in compliance with the intent and purpose of this code. Such policies and procedures shall not have the effect of waiving requirements specifically provided for in this code.
Your local building official must develop a plan to implement and enforce the local codes in your area. Check with them to verify any code related information.
There may also be local, county, state and federal regulations that will over ride or clarify portions of the codes.
ALWAYS chech with the local building department for code related verification.

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.
