The precautionary principle is not an all or nothing concept.  One looks 
at the perceived problem, and then you make a judgment based on previous 
experience etc. as to how severe the perceived problem may be.   And 
then put in place appropriate controls and monitoring.  If the 
monitoring shows a problem, or indeed lack of one, the controls are changed.
