I realize that it is a good idea to prevent hose damage at the connecting fitting. However, I'm not aware of an OSHA requirement or any national standard. The application is Industrial machinery.

If an injury, or damage occurs then the designer, builder, owner, or operator might have to show that they acted with prudence and diligence. Compliance with standards and codes of practice is just one part of one's liability. That is the case in Oz and I am sure the situation would be similar in the US. You might have to dig deeper to find what you are looking for in black-and-white.
I think you might have answered your own question when you say, "I realise it is a good idea...".
Why do you think it is a good idea? Do you need to point to a standard so your manager lets you guard the hoses?
The machine designer and builder's task is onerous and is carried from the cradle to grave for the machine.
