There is not a specific OSHA standard that addresses your question, but there is OSHA's General Duty Clause, where employers are obligated to protect workers from known hazards. There may be a case that has set precedent on this, as occupations that require standing are fairly common. The main factor is if standing for 40 hours a week is deemed a hazard.
