  ALICE is a demonstrator accelerator system which has been designed and built at Daresbury Laboratory. The heart of this facility is an ERL accelerator and a powerful multi-terrawatt laser. It serves as an advanced test facility for novel accelerator and photon science applications. Beam loss monitoring and machine protection systems are vital areas for the successful operation of ALICE. These systems are required, both for efficient machine set up and for hardware protection during operation. This paper gives an overview of the system design, commissioning details and a summary of the systems' effectiveness as a diagnostic tool.
