Then it's not random testing. It's for cause testing. They can also test if they suspect someone is under the influence. There doesn't need to be an accident. This is still allowed.

But remember, testing isn't designed to be a part of the "war on drugs". The intent is not to ensure that no employees ever use drugs or alcohol. It's to ensure there is workplace safety and that no one is physically injured because of an employee under the influence. Testing of ALL employees isn't necessary to ensure that. A stoned secretary or accountant or VP in head office creates little risk (maybe to the shareholders, but not to employee's physical safety). That's why many companies designate "safety sensitive positions" and only test them.
