The US Labor Department removed its 'House Falls' safety rule for marine terminals

The US Labor Department is removing a specific safety rule about "house falls" in marine terminals. This means that marine terminal operators will no longer have to follow this particular regulation.

This is a small, specific deregulation. The rule being removed is about a very old method of loading and unloading cargo from ships, a method that is no longer used. Removing outdated rules like this one can simplify compliance for businesses, even if the direct impact is minor.
