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.
