OSHA doesn't have a standard concerning arc flash hazards.
They incorporate by reference the NFPA 70E, electrical safety for workers, standards.
The amount of PPE required depends directly upon the hazard presented, so the higher the voltage the greater the level of protection required.
A brief explanation of the standard:

Any place where employees are exposed to live circuits above 50 volts must follow the standards. Link to NFPA page to purchase the NFPA 70E standard:

Whether or not OSHA requires it, a responsible employer would make them available for employees and insist that they wear it, or face discipline.
