I'm not aware of such a list.

For instance WebSocket is available in workers because of this requirement:

[[
This constructor must be visible when the script's global object is either  
a Window object or an object implementing the WorkerGlobalScope interface.
]]
http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/network.html#the-websocket-interface

IndexedDB says:

[[
WorkerUtils implements IDBEnvironment;
]]
