The only large database I can think of is the "WHMIS" system that is required by law in all workplaces (including factories, labs) in the province of Ontario, Canada ("WHMIS" means Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System.) As for whether this is freely accessible through the net, I couldn't say for sure. However, if you know anyone at any engineering or science school in Ontario, they may be able to find out for sure.
