CTS is classed under the industrial diseases. I have never come accross any mention of it specifically-though it would probably come under the vibrational injuries side of things. Mine happened on site, fine one day, completely stuffed the next and requiring surgery to fix (no other option was available). I think it should be seriously considered as a work hazzard in archaeology, a colleage who worked next to me on the same project is having some issues with his wrists, though not as severe.
