What is the airlines' responsibility here?

Hi! First post!

Reading through this thread, the one question I can't seem to find an answer for is what do airlines themselves do to prevent the crews from flying over the limit/under the influence?

Are there checks in place?

And if not, what is the airlines' liability/responsibility here? Seems that given they are responsible for their passengers' safety, that NOT having any checks to ensure the pilots are safe to fly is a contradiction?
