Drug Testing Program Requirements

I work for a company that has drug testing for Mechanics and drivers to include: Random, prehire and post accident or injury.

All other employees and management go through pre hire only. in the last 2 years they have also added post injury/accident for all other employees and are now with no notice to the staff implementing random testing company wide. Can they implement a random program without notifying the affected staff? If notice is required what would it have to be?
