What about "injured" in case of injury, or "endangered" in the case of a
near-miss? These would seem straight-forward and non-pejorative.

As part of our incident review process, we are developing a "lessons
learned" review process designed to encapsulate key points of either
prevention or response to lab incidents that may apply in other laboratory
settings on campus. An ongoing challenge I've faced is what to call the
person who is more directly involved in the incident. Sometimes they are
hurt as a consequence of the incident, sometimes not, but calling them the
"victim" seems to prejudice the questions we want to ask about the event.
Have other people come up with terms to describe the people who are at the
scene of an incident and may or may not be involved in the cause of the
incident?
Thanks for any help with this.
