Depending on the state where you work and the company's policy, pre-employment drug testing may be performed as well as scheduled and random drug testing. The interviewer is being transparent and letting you know that random testing can be done for the safety of their employees. If you do not have a problem with their policy, let them know it will not be an issue for you.

You want to avoid answering that you have an issue with their policy. If you do not agree to random drug testing, the interviewer may feel you have something to hide, and they will pass you over for another candidate who agrees to their policy.

"No, I do not have an issue with random drug testing. I do not use drugs, so I have nothing to worry about when tested."
