Operating the LHC at design performance is not going to be easy. The machine is complex and with nominal beams has the capacity to destroy itself. Consequently, a staged approach has been developed, in which the complexity and the destructive power of the LHC beams are both increased incrementally. The overall approach is described, with particular emphasis on the machine protection system and commissioning to first high energy collisions.
