Precautionary Principle Sample Clauses

The Precautionary Principle clause establishes that, in situations where there is scientific uncertainty about potential risks or harm, parties should take preventive action to avoid possible negative outcomes. This clause typically applies to activities or decisions that could impact health, safety, or the environment, requiring parties to err on the side of caution even if all the evidence is not yet available. Its core function is to allocate responsibility for risk management and ensure that lack of full scientific certainty does not delay protective measures.
Precautionary Principle. Ecological and natural resource processes are not always clearly understood, nor are the interactions among such processes. SANParks recognises that issues may arise suddenly, or circumstances change, due to limitations in current knowledge. SANParks has endeavoured to identify these limitations wherever possible, and to design the concession process in a way that minimises the environmental risk to the national assets under its control. However, situations may arise where changes which have not been anticipated may cause SANParks to require adaptations to the management of the area.

Precautionary Principle. Environmental assessment involves predicting what the environmental outcomes of a development are likely to be. The precautionary principle reinforces the need to take risk and uncertainty into account, especially in relation to threats of irreversible environmental damage. The specialist studies conducted in support of this EA, consider the potential environmental impacts associated with the Modification, including long-term effects. Findings of these specialist assessments are presented in Section 4 and relevant appendices. Measures designed to avoid, mitigate and offset potential environmental impacts arising from the Modification are also described in Sections 4 and 5. The specialist assessments prepared for this EA have evaluated the potential for harm to the environment associated with development of the Modification. A PHA, Transport of Hazardous Materials Study and FHA have been previously completed for the approved CGM. The PHA identified scenarios that presented the highest risks to the environment, public safety and public property (North Limited, 1998). The FHA concluded that the CGM complied with the HIPAP No. 4 and HIPAP No. 6 Guidelines for tolerable fatality, injury, irritation and societal risk (Pinnacle Risk Management, 2004b). No change to the overall PHA or FHA risk assessment findings would result from the Modification (Section 6.1.2). An extensive range of measures has been adopted as components of the Modification design to minimise the potential for serious and/or irreversible damage to the environment, including operational controls, physical controls and the development of environmental management and monitoring programmes (Section 4). Where residual risks are identified, contingency controls have also been considered (Section 4). In addition, peer review of the Hydrogeological Assessment (Appendix A) was undertaken by a recognised expert (Attachment 3). Social equity is defined by inter-generational and intra-generational equity. Inter-generational equity is the concept that the present generation should ensure that the health, diversity and productivity of the environment is maintained or enhanced for the benefit of future generations, while intra-generational equity is applied within the same generation. The principles of social equity are addressed through: • assessment of the socio-economic impacts of the Modification, including the distribution of impacts between stakeholders; • consideration of greenhouse gases generated by...

Precautionary Principle. The precautionary principle will prevail where there is a lack of information upon which to base decisions about the access and use of natural resources – if there are threats of serious or irreversible environmental damage, lack of full scientific certainty should not be used as a reason for postponing measures to prevent environmental degradation.

Precautionary Principle. 32.1 Where there is good reason to believe there is a potential health or environmental risk in connection with the use of materials, even if the data remains unconfirmed or scientifically unproven, uncertain or the use of the material remains legally permitted, the Contractor should: (a) notify SDNPA of the risk and identify the source of the information or scientific data in which the risk is identified; and (b) strive to identify any alternative materials that could be used as a substitute for the material. Any alternative materials should have a low environmental or health impact and continue to meet any requirements in relation to quality. 32.2 Prior to substitution of any material under this provision the Contractor will provide SDNPA with details of: (a) any cost or quality implications of the use of any other alternative material; and (b) any other relevant information in relation to alternative materials. 32.3 Following receipt of the information above, SDNPA shall decide, at its absolute discretion, if it wishes the Contractor to substitute the current material with any alternative materials proposed by the Contractor or otherwise identified by SDNPA itself.
