How can I find out if I'm entitled to danger money at work

Really depends on your location and what happened.

I'm trying to find out if I'm entitled to danger money for the type of work I do dealing with aerosols and dangerous chemicals like petrol deisel and gases

You still haven't given enough to work on.
The factory I work in uses similar, but I don't get "danger money" for it.

As Curlyben said, where? What do you do with "aerosols and dangerous chemicals"?

Well we do get injuries where a can blew up and stuck in someone's leg and breithing in some product when they have spillages and some of the machines we use can be very dangerous I just think for what we do it don't seem like a lot of money for

You've been asked "where" several times and chose (for whatever reason) not to post the Country or State.

There's no way to answer you and this thread is of no help to anyone.

I'd suggest that it be closed.

In the U.S. I am not aware of any laws or regulations that specify a certain wage for potentially hazardous work places. There are federal laws (such as OSHA) and state laws that specify certain minimum standards for creating safe working conditions, including the handling of hazardous chemicals.
The salaries for folks doing hazardous jobs are determined based on what it takes to recruit a skilled craftsman to accept the hazardous working conditions. Unions (when involved) would likely stress the hazards in their negotiations with employers.
As long as an employer meets the minimum requirements of applicable safety regulations, the employer determines the rate of pay (except for minimum wage law, union negotiations, or possibly prevailing wage laws for certain public works).
Injuries of the type you have referred to must be reported to the safety agency (agencies) having jurisdiction, and the agency does an investigation and has the power to levy fines and/or criminal charges for documented violations of regulations.
And I realize you haven't replied to questions above about where you are located so this may just be for comparison.

In that case, a responding NO.
This is what health and safely laws are for.

Aerosols do NOT normally exploded if used correctly, also your company must supply appropriate personal protection devices as mandated by H&S Law.

Yeah we get safety glasses and boots but there is always a possibility that more things could go wrong which would be risking peoples lives or just resulting in serious injury to people
