Is it true that occupations requiring frequent flexion movements of the hand at the wrist can precipitate the development of carpal tunnel syndrome?

Yes. Occupational tasks requiring frequent wrist flexion and repetitive manual exertion contribute to median nerve compression and the development of carpal tunnel syndrome.
