This recommendation is under consideration.

All infrastructure trainees are trained in First Aid as part of the Future You programme. Evacuation training is covered specifically in our Tunnel courses, where we train the use of SCSR and Gas masks.
For Scenic passenger staff, this is extended further with the Scenic Safety and Emergency Procedures course which is revalidated every 12 months.
