There are far to many if then else statements for OSHA compliance.
BASIC Guidelines:
Protect workers from high voltage (threshold is around 40 volts)
Fire hazzards fall under general house-keeping.
However, if the parts they are working on are apt to explode or burst into flames, then some form of sheilding would be required.
Radiation: You need to verify the exposure limits for the specific type of radiation involved.
Your best resource is going to be the local / state OSHA office.
Generally, common sense applies.
If the task presents a risk of injury to the workers, steps must be taken to eliminate / reduce the risk.
In electronics assembly, the biggest issues are X-Acto knives, lead, other chemicals, and repetativestress trauma.
Most OSHA inspecters are more versed in "general" hazzards;
lifting, triping, crushing, chemical issues.
