Safety Training Completion at 72% target completion rate: a worked example

Here is what the math looks like when conditions slip. We hold every other input steady and drop target completion rate to 72%, then walk the calculation through step by step. Calculate training completion for Safety & Workforce: completed trainings as a share of trainings assigned.

The inputs for this scenario

  • Safety trainings completed: 230 trainings (held at the documented default)
  • Safety trainings assigned: 250 trainings (held at the documented default)
  • Target completion rate: 72 % (the input this scenario stresses; the baseline uses 100)

Working through the calculation

  • The calculation starts from the formula this tool documents: Training completion = trainings completed ÷ trainings assigned × 100.
  • Training completion works out to 92 % at these inputs, and this is the headline figure for the scenario.
  • Gap to target works out to -20 points at these inputs.
  • Trainings completed works out to 230 count at these inputs.
  • Trainings assigned works out to 250 count at these inputs.

How this compares with the baseline

  • Against the tool's baseline example, where target completion rate sits at 100% and the headline result is 92 %, this scenario lands almost exactly on the baseline at 92 %.
  • The practical read: the gap between this scenario and the baseline is entirely attributable to target completion rate, so recovering it is worth quantifying in dollars before considering equipment or staffing changes. Completion counts finished courses, not retained knowledge — a 100% rate says nothing about whether training was effective or whether people can apply it.
