The precautionary principle

The precautionary principle is one of the way we use to protect our health and the environment but people think more and more that it's a too heavy imposition on our society and business. They think that it's illogical to ban something without knowing clearly whether it is dangerous or not.
I strongly disagree with this purpose. For me, the respect of well-being and environment is more important than progress and profit. I prefer to know that every innovation is clear, safe and will never be consider harmful because of a study for the late-effects of this product. And if an innovation comes but it's a risky one. I prefer to know that too and be ready to face the consequences.
The precautionary principle is a good thing and must be maintain, even if it's against productivity and economy.
