OSHA, a US federal agency, does not have regulations that set a maximum or minimum temperature for the workplace. The employer is responsible for providing a safe and healthful workplace, but that does not necessarily include a comfortable workplace.
According to the Department of Labor, it is your employer's responsibility to pay you for your OSHA required training. You can learn more about your rights as a worker at www.dol.gov.
Federally funded construction projects fall under OSHA if the organization performing the work is subject to OSHA. If the work is performed, for example, by municipal employees in a state that does not have an OSHA approved Occupational Safety and health program, then the work does not fall under OSHA.
If the work restrictions result from an incident that is work-related under the OSHA definitions, then they may be OSHA recordable. Always consult a specialist who is familiar with both the OSHA regulations and the specifics of the incident.
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.
Yes, a hairline fracture on the tip of a finger is generally considered an OSHA recordable injury.

Chemical sterilization of people as a result of exposure during their work is not permitted by OSHA.

In the US, it would have to be the Occupational Health and Safety Administration of OSHA.
Absolutely - the programs are completely separate from each other, and work independently.
The OSHA 300 is for recording both injuries and work-related . If it is neither an injury nor an illness, then it is of no interest to OSHA in terms of the 300 form
OSHA does not "approve" any tools or equipment. So composite toe boots cannot be "OSHA approved." However, those composite toe boots that meet the relevant ANSI standard will comply with OSHA requirements if selected, used, and maintained appropriately.
