Better safe than sorry

Working in more protective levels of protection than conditions trnly warrant, as noted in the above andit finding, is commonplace and still happens today. There is an old saying, Better safe than sorry however, when all items are considered, too mnch protection in the form of PPE can create a dangerons sitnation. 

In order for a sleep onset dream to become a hypnagogic hallucination, the internal stimulus strength has only to achieve a momentary advantage over the diminished force of external stimuli to generate emotionally salient perceptions. Because the prevalent emotion is anxiety, the salient imagery is fearsome, as befits the evolutionary theory advanced above. Better safe than sorry, and Forewarned is fore-armed, as we say. 

This is a better-safe-than-sorry principle that advocates the reduction of inputs into the environment of substances especially where there is reason to believe that harmful effects are likely to occur (18). Therefore, the precautionary principle has to play an important role in decisions about new technology. 

The basic premise of the Precautionary Principle is that decision makers should implement regulatory measures to prevent or restrict actions that may harm humans or the environment, even though there is incomplete scientific evidence to assess the significance of the potential harm. It has been used as an underlying rational in several international treaties and declarations. There are various definitions of the Precautionary Principle that are represented as better safe than sorry. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) defines it as, When information about potential risks...

In more recent times, large doses of vitamin C have been claimed to prevent the common cold, cure infertility, delay the onset of symptoms in AIDS, and inhibit the development of gastric and cervical cancers. Proof is still lacking for most of these claims, but a recent study in Europe did find statistical evidence for an inhibitory effect against gastric cancers. Although large daily doses of vitamin C are probably not warranted, the harmful side effects of vitamin C appear minimal, and many people have adopted a better safe than sorry approach. 

The essence of the precautionary principle is perhaps best summed up in the time-worn adage, Better safe than sorry , and A stitch in time saves nine . This approach seems to be slowly replacing the earlier philosophy of development, which was closer to Nothing ventured, nothing gained and even in many cases, Damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead ... 

A measurement that serves as a standard against others may be measured. Industry safety statistics (injuries, fatalities, fires, etc.) are commonly used as a safety benchmark measurement for comparison as a lagging safety key performance indicator. Better Safe than Sorry... 

Don t throw sharp knives into soapy water. Soak them in their own bowl or dishpan, or wash them by hand under the tap and put them away immediately. Better safe than sorry. 

It would be easy for QM staff to, as some do, sit back and take the line that their role is to judge and approve quality measures, procedures, plans etc and to review objective evidence of QM actions as it is presented to them. There is a tendency, particularly amongst purchasers, to invoke every standard of conceivable relevance on the basis of "better safe than sorry". However, disentangling the relevant parts and harmonising them is a... 

Much environmental legislation is informed by the precautionary principle —which we all heard as children as better safe than sorry. This essentially tells us that we should not wait for... 

People often say it s better to be safe than sorry. I felt the truth of this statement when... 

Cells are loaded into the syringe when no needle is in place. The negative pressure combined with the relatively small bore of a needle causes damage and death to a relatively large number of cells. Of course, the sensitivity of cells to this particular manipulation is cell line-dependent. Until proven otherwise, it is better to be safe than sorry. As soon as the inoculum is loaded into the syringe, This makes the subsequent process of injection easier since it is easier to see the amount injected. 

If you are going to store dynamite, a good Idea Is to store it in a cool place and turn It over once a month. It will take more than a month to start leaking, but it is better to be safe than sorry. Also It Is a good Idea to store It In a leak proof carton, such as a milk carton, so that in case It does leak, the nltro wMI be contained and It won t run out all over the place. 

The old adage truly applies "It s better to be safe than sorry." Therefore, always evaluate the possible link between substance abuse and depression, because the connection can be suicidal. 

Whether global warming is a real threat to our world is still somewhat inconclusive. But supporters of renewable, alternative, carbon-neutral, zero-emission energy technologies say it is better to be safe than sorry. In view of the uncertainties about the expected course of the climate, they say it is foolhardy to believe there is no problem at all and to continue... 

Solvent impurities The extracting solvent may introduce impurities into an analysis. The term impurity is a function of the detection system used in the analytical scheme and the Hmits of detection required. It may be necessary to redistill or purify the solvent prior to use, e.g., ethyl acetate. Each reagent needs to be assessed for its purity. Moreover, when changing batches, a purity reassessment should be made as it is better to be safe than sorry. 

After finding the best column overnight, in accordance with our comments another run would make sense better to be safe than sorry, and an orthogonal test in the case of unknown samples provides parallel to a DAD-LC/MS-MS coupling more security regarding peak homogeneity. 

The old cliche it is better to be safe than sorry was made for confined spaces. Yet workers continue to make the mistake of entering deadly spaces without proper preparation. 

Much of the safety information listed here is common sense, but it s worth repeating—when it comes to electricity, it s better to be safe than sorry. (And always keep in mind that sometimes the safest thing to do is to call a professional.)... 

This type of control should extend not only to agricultural chemicals but for all types of bulk and packaged preparations which are offered for sale as pesticides. No better standard than the old, well worn axiom, it s better to be safe than to be sorry, could be used by the pesticide industry in the development and distribution of its products. 

Precautionary stance is essentially being better be safe than be sorry later and is a risk-averse, conservative position based on intrinsic, potential risks rather than proven perceived damage. 

As a practical matter, the foreign cited references will almost always be included in a supplemental IDS even if the applicant does not think they are particularly material to patentability better to play it safe early than be sorry later.
