Hi Ralph,

What I have seen in the past in the industry is using the specific job title of the "involved worker" or "involved employee", followed by a numberal or letter when multiple persons are involved.

For example:
[...] at 10:40 "Process Technician A" started closing valve XXX. At 10:50 material started leaking from YYY. [...] at 10:52, "Process Technician B" was walking to ZZZ and observed "Process Technician B" surrounded by flames apparently originating from the North unloading area stormwater trench and and radioed the control room to report the fire [...]

hope this helps!

Best regards,
Sebastian

How about referring to them by a descriptive title: injured researcher, coworker, PI, postdoc, technician, etc.

The term "subject" has generally been used.

I agree with Al - he makes sense. Any other word would be contrived and, as
such, would not be universally accepted. "Person(s) involved" seems to cover
most possibilities.
