Abstract: For a modern society a significant social and economic problem is the complete or partial loss of capacity for work by people working in industries with harmful conditions and / or living in technologically unfavorable territories.The problems of the study of the cause-effect relationships of disability, the prevention of disability, the rehabilitation of people of working age are complex and cannot be resolved within the framework of only health system, they require coordinated efforts of government agencies (including regional ones), industrial enterprises management, as well as organizations representing interests of people working and living in adverse conditions. It is shown how relevant in the technogenic environment is the topic of rehabilitation of persons with disabilities or those who are limited fit to work in high-tech industries, as the loss of health by such workers forces them to switch to other less harmful work, which is associated with significant economic and social problems. The article discusses a number of statistical data on the causes of disability and partial loss of capacity for work by persons of high-tech enterprises using the example of nuclear energy, and establishes the presence of positive dynamics of reducing risks that are directly related to professional activities. This article is devoted to the analysis of the current situation and the search for models that can improve the sphere of technosphere safety while improving the existing health care system, reduce social risks while developing high technologies that ensure a stable level of energy production.
