OSHA is Occupational Safety & Health Administration and all of the information can be found from the official site and under the search tag of regulations.
OSHA does not have, nor does it need, a definition of a disabling injury. That sort of definition would be found in state Workers Compensation laws and regulations, and in Social Security Administration regulations.
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.
It depends on the work place honestly. You have to know what the rules and regulations are for your city/state and OSHA requirements. Many construction jobs, for example, have to follow certain city/state and OSHA regulations for the people working the job in question. Please contact your city/state office for more information state-wise and contact OSHA for their laws and regulations for work place noise/sound ordinances and regulations.
OSHA regulations dictate their necessity, for the most part.
