Quantification machine system safety risk plays a significant role in machine safety design. A logic model based on Cause-Consequence Diagram (CCD) for quantifying machine system risk developed was presented. It was suggested that initiating event of CCD be searched in the light of Energy Trace Analysis, and this model simulated the logical and stochastic interdependences of the various events involved with undesired outcome associated with machine system. Safety measures designed within machine system were focused to assess machine system safety level objectively. The calculated result of CCD could measure a machine system safety-capability in design development and therefore be recommendations to increase the redundancy or to modifications to the safety systems to achieve system inherent safety. Quantification processes for traditional grinding machine and computerized numerical control (CNC) grinding machine´ risks of traumatic brain injury due to flying wheel ruptured were presented respectively. These two quantification results tell that risk rate of CNC grinding machine is significantly lower than that of traditional grinding machine.
