You can create a webscript and check whether the workflows which are running on particular node.

private static final String[] ENABLE_WORKFLOW_LIST = {"New Task"};
List<WorkflowInstance> workflowInstanceList = workflowService.getWorkflowsForContent(nodeRef, true);
for (WorkflowInstance workflowInstance : workflowInstanceList) {
//Make check for workflow something like below

}
}

If you dont know how to create webscript you can refer below link for more details.
