No. OSHA does not approve any safety equipment. OSHA sometimes refers to commercial product standards in its regulations, but in the case of chain saw leg protection this was overlooked. OSHA simply states that chain saw users shall wear leg protection made from ballistic nylon or similar material. Read the OSHA regulation: Logging Operation Safety Regulation, 29 CFR – 1910.
