OSHA was not enforced in the 1950s. OSHA was not created until 1971.
During the 1950s, a few states (New York and Pennsylvania, for example) had their own more limited, but sometimes better focused, organizations for seeking improvements to workplace health and safety, but there was no US national requirement in this area.

Is the Industrial Safety laws enforced in the workplace and by whom?
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.
Does OSHA have jurisdiction over the Army?
By Executive Order the Army, and the other branches of the US armed forces, are directed to provide occupational safety and health at least as stringent as that of OSHA. The executive branch administrative agencies (like OSHA) don't generally have authority on military installations, or in military operations. Typically there will be a military manual that essentually restates the civilian requirements, but is enforced by inspectors in the military. Of course, if the General has an issue and calls the local OSHA office an inspector would be willing do an inspection.
