Instructions for printing the Pre-Employment Physical Exam paperwork:

Step 1:  Set up your HR record: 

• ​Locate your congratulations email from HR (human resources).  If you don't see it, check your spam/junk folders.  If you have not received this email, please contact HR: (803) 232-2008 or (803) 232-2007.   You must complete this step first. You will need the email to continue your pre-employment process.  The email has a link to set up your human resources personnel record.
• Select the link which takes you to a log in page. Use the email account you used for your application. Change your password if needed.
• Log in, verify, and update the information. The site will look like your resume. 
• When you are finished, close the application.. 
• The portal closes when you close your browser. Once you log out, you will not be able to log back in again.  

Step 2:  Set up your Medical Record:

• You will next receive an email from donotreply@escreen.com.  This may take an hour or more to show up in your email.  Check your email/spam/junk folders.  
• Login, and verify/update your contact information. 
• Select the collection site for your physical exam. 
  • If you live in SC or the Augusta, GA area (CSRA), your collection site is Bridgestone Aiken PSR (plant only).  The selection choices will default to clinics closest to your zip code, so you may have to scroll down to find the PSR plant. 
  • If you live outside the CSRA (Central Savannah River Area, West Columbia, N. Augusta, Augusta) or more than 1 hour away, select the clinic closest to you. Confirm your clinic selection.  
• This process generates the epassport. Print it, and complete your medical history.  Select epassport_example.pdf​ for an example of how to complete the epassport.  Please complete everything in and below the highlighted areas.
  • Your company is Bridgestone, location is the PSR (passenger tire plant) or AOR (Off road/giant tire) plants.  Your job location site should be on your congratulations letter.  It is the same location as your plant tour.  The PSR plant is where your physical will be completed.  The AOR site is likely where you were interviewed.  
  • Include childhood hospitalizations and surgeries.  Include giving birth in your hospital and surgical history as appropriate.
  • Include all prescribed medications.  Remember birth control and implantable contraceptive devices.  Include over the counter medications that you use more than 3 times a week like aspirin for heart health, vitamins, and supplements.

• When you print your epassport, you will note that there is a time frame for you to complete your drug test.  You will need to complete this drug test in the allotted time frame.  This may require an additional appointment to complete the physical if the clinic cannot see you during your drug screen.

Be advised:  You MUST  have an eScreen account established for your physical exam. If you do not get an email with an attachment from eScreen at least 2 business days prior to your appointment, please call HR/Heather for help. This means you are not registered in the ePassport system and the clinic cannot do your physical exam.

COMMONLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

What forms do I need for my pre-employment physical exam?

eScreen is the source for pre-employment exam forms.  Please see detailed instructions above.

What time should I arrive for my appointment?

10-15 min prior to your scheduled appointment.  Earlier or later will interrupt a current appointment.  As soon as you arrive at the front gate and check in, you are considered "checked in" for your appointment.  If there is a line at the gate, do not despair.  You will be considered on time as the gate guard will advise the clinic of any delays.

Where do i park?

You may park next to the occupational health clinic and enter directly into the clinic.  Please do not go to the main entrance.  If you are directed to the main entrance, or get lost on campus, call (803) 232-2211 to let the clinic know. We will come meet you.  

What do I wear?

Comfortable clothing. This is the medical appointment. You will not be in the plant for this visit UNLESS your physical exam is scheduled on the same day as your plant tour.  We will listen to your heart and lungs, check your blood pressure, and make you duck walk (seriously!).  Wear pants you can bend in at the knees and hips, sleeves that can rolled out of the way of the blood pressure cuff, a shirt that can lifted in order to listen to your chest.  You not need to wear steel toed shoes.  You may bring your phone and wallet into the clinic. 
If your appointment is scheduled on the same day as the plant tour, you WILL need to follow the guidance of HR regarding toe protection.  Tuck your ID into your pocket.  Do not bring your phone in if you going on the plant tour the same day.

are there two or three physical exams?

There are two types of examinations. The first is your medical exam. The clinic will review your health history, collect a urine specimen (hydrate!), and check your vision (bring or wear contacts/glasses).  The medical exam clears your for your second exam, the physical fitness exam in Augusta.  If you need to complete your drug test before your physical, this may add an extra appointment.  However, the drug test by itself is not the medical exam.  The lung function check is completed at the tire plant, so you may be scheduled for an appointment to do your lung function test. 

I got a physical exam appointment notice but i never got a notification from Hr that i was being hired?

• Physical exam appointments are generated by the Health Clinic, not Human Resources.  They arrive by text, so people tend to notice them first.  
• You are looking for a congratulations letter with your proposed start date via the email account you used to apply for the position.  Check your spam and junk email boxes.  If you used a friend or spouse's email, reach out to them. 
• If you cannot locate the email, please contact HR right away to confirm the date, time, and email account used to send the email.  Do this at least 2 business days before your medical appointment.
• Read the email from HR thoroughly and follow the instructions.  You may receive a 2d email with your medical appointment information.  You will receive a 3rd email with information about the Part II physical.  Once you have completed the HR portion, you will receive a 4th email from donotreplyatescreen.com. 

BLUF: Correspondence is 4 emails:  2 from HR, 1 from vCita (AikenPSR), 1 from eScreen, plus 2 appointment notification texts.   

what do I bring to my visit?

• Your completed ePassport (health history form).  See instructions above for details how to obtain and complete these forms.
• Government ID such as a driver's license, state identity card, or  military ID.  
• Glasses if you need them.  We check your vision with contacts or glasses.
• A full bladder or 16 oz of water if you have a shy bladder.  We will collect urine for the medical and drug tests.

I completed my escreen application and the form says i have to complete my drug test within a certain time frame but my appointment is outside that time frame - What should I do?

Complete your drug screen within the time frame indicated.  This may require a 2d appointment to complete the physical if the clinic cannot get you in during your drug screen.

I don't have a printer to print my epassport?

You must have your ePassport (medical history) printed for your medical exam.  Follow the instructions for accessing and completing it.  When you get to the step that says, "email a copy to" enter your email and take it to a center where you can print it. If your physical is at the Aiken PSR plant, enter alumbaughilse@bfusa.com.  This will send a copy to the clinic and we will print it and have it waiting for you.  Plan on 20-30 min to complete your medical history form.  

How long is the appointment?

Plan on an hour.  5 min to get through the gate and park.  10 min to complete more paperwork in the clinic.  45 min for the complete exam.  Add 10-20 min if your have an empty or shy bladder.  Add an additional 20 min if you bring an uncompleted ePassport. 

What if i need to reschedule my medical appointment?

You can reschedule your appointment by contacting the clinic directly. If your appointment is at Aiken PSR, using the reschedule feature on your appointment reminder.  You will need to complete your drug screen within the time frame, and complete medical physical prior to the physical fitness exam.  If you have trouble scheduling an appointment, you can schedule a new appointment through the website or call the clinic directly: (803) 232-2211. Please do not no-show appointments. This takes available appointment time away from other applicants and team members. 

My attachment disappeared?  ​

If your ePassport email arrives, you open the attachment and your document suddenly disappears, don't despair.  Check your DOWNLOAD folder.  In Windows, this is found inside the DOCUMENTS Folder usually below FAVORITES (yellow star).  In newer versions, select My documents, then My downloads.  In Mac, this is the folder icon that will appear to be jumping up and down (Seriously! It jumps up and down...).  Open it and scroll to the top to select the document.  Print, and complete.  

I tried to log into the escreen program but it won't take my password
