The article considers the problem of formation and allocation of the key approach «disease-labor» in the integral mechanism of labor rehabilitation of disabled people - the dependence of labor activity on diseases and injuries. The relevance of the research is due to the lack of mechanisms for the involvement of able-bodied disabled people in the economically active part of society, i.e., the realization of their human potential in capital, and the acquisition of economic independence. The purpose of the article is to consider and propose individual tools of the employment promotion mechanism. In particular, on the basis of scientific articles of specialists from the Central Institute of disability expertise and organization of work (CIDEOW), selectively consider existing approaches to the restoration of disability and employment of disabled people in the USSR, taking into account diseases and injuries that caused disability. Comparison of existing approaches with modern employment promotion in the framework of Federal laws and state Standards. Justify the need to develop and adopt in addition to the state Standards «All-Russian guaranteed standard (regulation) of rehabilitation services for disabled people of working age based on the nosological approach». The subject of the research is tools and mechanisms for improving organizational, economic and social-labor relations in the process of employment of disabled people.
