But hunters, who are in the woods surrounded by vegetation, wear the blaze orange (not sure if OSHA mandates that). So…if you’re riding on the streets and roadways…I guess go with the yellow. If you’re off-road riding through the woods…go with the orange. And the light as suggested above.

OSHA stands for OCCUPATIONAL Safety and Health Administration, so, no. That's up to the state Fish and Game Department.

Also, not all states require blaze orange for all hunters at all times. For some hunters, full camo, even face painting is allowed, whereas in other situations the rules actually dictate how many square inches of blaze orange must be visible at a minimum.
