- Cyberattacks and labour law: What are the
employers' responsibilities?
Under Luxembourg labour law, employers are bound by a duty of
care towards its employees that extends beyond physical safety.
In fact, the Labour Code specifies that employers must ensure
the health and safety of their employees in all aspects of their
work. This includes preventing occupational risks, providing
information and training, and setting up the necessary organisation
and resources.
