I am looking to introduce random Alcohol screening within my Company and need advice on how and where to start and what any of the potential pitfalls might be.
I also need to know if;
You need to use an outside Company for screening.
and whether the results can be used to pursue and/or defend against dismissal.
Many thanks in advance.

i have done this in the past, first thing to do is to get HR to write a policy and then get the Union/workers reps to agree to it.
we used the breathalysers that the police use and whn calibrated they are very accurate. we were trained by the supplier of the equipment and testing was only done internally by managers. the machines print out a result on paper
there is a computer programme that you can use to generate random numbers which is what we used and then matched against the staff name.
we then tested within the month, if there was a fail then we retested 20 mins later, second fail they were suspended and disciplined
any questions PM me

We did it at our authority, plus drug testing. Suggest you check and review your terminology as we use the phrase 'for cause' where we feel we have reason.
All done in house with external verification and do not forget chain of custody. Please PM me if you need more
