I implemented web workers in Passpack 7 to speed up some jobs when Google Gears is not installed.
I simply check it with:

if (window.Worker) …

It works well with all browsers.

It’s usually better to avoid double negatives. Also, true/false in that ternary is really redundant : )

var hasWorker = typeof Worker != “undefined”;
if (!hasWorker) { … }
