A workspace protection system extending the existing security (eg log on, screen blank) and user interface of a computer type workstation to personal workspace in an open plan office includes first and second free-stranding post (2,4), first post (2) mounting transmitter means (20) for transmitting a beam of infrared radiation, the second post including means (26) for receiving the beam of radiation whereby the beam in use extends between the first and second posts parallel with a strap (8) which also extends between the posts to define a boundary for the workspace associated with a workstation of an office worker. The receiving means (26) is coupled to means (30) for detecting the interruption of the radiation beam and providing an audible/visual warning (32) to an office worker and/or visual warning indication (34) to a visitor. Also, detection could activate a computer security feature such as password protection or screen blanking. |
