If they are at work, then yes
Article 23 (1) (b) of the RR(FS)O 2005 states:
_________________________________
General duties of employees at work
23.—(1) Every employee must, while at work—
(b)as regards any duty or requirement imposed on his employer by or under any provision of this Order, co-operate with him so far as is necessary to enable that duty or requirement to be performed or complied with
_____________________________________
Fire drills maybe interpreted as a requirement, so if the employee is at work - see Article 23(1)- they must take part

Are they sleeping there because it's part of their job or they actually living there?

They are trainees who live there for a 12 month period.

Absolutely, how else are you to validate your emergency procedures? As a long term solution, have it added to the tenancy agreement.

SBH The only situation I can think of that would be similar would be service personnel. In which case I would say if the accomodation is inside the wire then yes, outside then no as technically that is not at work. Bomb drills may override scope, extent and frequency of fire drills anyway (do they still do those?)
