Probably for the same reasons that you do emergency drills in any other workplace - not only is it likely to be a legal requirement, but it helps give people some idea what to do if the emergency happens for real, may reveal any problems with the emergency plans and, hopefully, allows people to get their panicking done during the simulation rather than the real thing.
