I personally know someone that has benefited from the ADA as well. They used it in their grievance case.

OSHA was not directly applicable as the United States was not considered an employer. The act establishing OSHA did task the heads of federal agencies with creating a program consistent with the national standards of OSHA. It looks like Carter tried to put a bit more force behind it with Executive Orders issued in 1980.
