This term found in Material Safety Data Sheet. Our current translation is "Gesundheits- und Umweltgefährdung", and I'm not sure whether the "-" followed by "Gesundheits-" is necessary here... Need your advice or input. Thanks.

Gesundheits- und Umweltgefährdung
Yes, the "-" after "Gesundheits" is absolutely necessary here, as it indicates the second half of the following term refers to "Gesundheits" as well.
In other words, the entire translation should read, "Gesundheitsgefährdung und Umweltgefährdung", but as repetitions are to be avoided in German, the above is the best way of saying it, if you want to choose this phrasing.
Another possible way of phrasing it would be "Gefahren für Mensch und Umwelt".
