The paper describes CERN’s approach to radiation protection during LS1. It addresses the regulatory and operational landscape before and during LS1. The lessons learnt from LS1 will be used to define the roadmap towards LS2. Despite the large amount of maintenance and repair work in all radiation areas, CERN succeeded in keeping the collective dose to personnel at a reasonable level. Moreover, CERN’s objective of keeping individual doses below 3 mSv in 2013 was largely achieved; only two experts slightly exceeded the dose objective. In addition, no radiological incident or accident had to be reported.
