Abstract	The purpose of this project was to develop both worker and employer uses of Organizational Policies and Practices surveys (OPP) and to examine their validity and reliability. A second purpose was to examine the role of OPPs in work disability in a prospective study. To accomplish these aims we followed 197 workers with electrophysiologically confirmed carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) from pre-surgical baseline to two months, six months, and 12 months post-surgery. In addition, the authors surveyed key informants from 76 employers (71% response rate) about OPPs.
