Is there any guidance on random drugs/alcohol testing?
Can an employer make testing mandatory for their staff with disciplinary action if any individual refuses to be tested?

It really depends on what type of work they are doing. If the employer can prove that it is being introduced for health and safety reasons - i.e. drivers, machine operators etc - then as long as the policy is explained, introduced correctly (with training for staff and managers) then yes they can make it mandatory and use disciplinary action.
I would be interested to know what type of work they are doing and the reasons for the introduction from the employer...
