precautious 

Being cautious before necessary, overly cautious, or adding an extra step to the precautionary measures one needs to take.

My father was afraid of fire & always felt the need to be precautious about putting them out if he saw one - he carried a fire extinguisher with him everywhere he went.

Sarah was a precautious person; she put on an extra layer of pads before skateboarding in case the original ones didn't hold up.

My aunt was precautious about sunburn - she wore sunscreen day and night, indoors and outdoors.

Precautionary Principle 

The idea that if the consequences are unknown and may cause harm or negative consequences, it is best to avoid making that decision or to proceed with caution.

Since the effect of CO2 emissions on the climate is still unclear, it is best to use the precautionary principle.
