German term or phrase: Steinbruchberufsgenossenschaft
Does an English equivalent of this term exist? Is it an association of quarrymen, or something else altogether?

In the past, I\'ve also used \"Professional Quarrying Association\" but this term would fail to make clear that it\'s primarily about statutory accident insurance, and not about a Branchenverband or similar (the latter I\'d translate as \"Association of the Quarrying Industry\", or similar).

Yes, I should have hit on this before - it's quite clear that an accident insurance organisation is meant. Thanks!

quarry cooperative


Explanation:
There are two google hits for "quarry cooperative" (not very impressive, but for "quarrymen's cooperative" there are none!).

comparable entries in Dietl/Lorenz:
Baugenossenschaft- building cooperative
Handwerkergenossenschaft- craft cooperative

Hope this helps!

neutral  Steffen Walter: Use of Genossenschaft in your examples does not correspond to what *Berufsgenossenschaften* were established for (i.e. statutory accident insurance). I have to admit that the name may be misleading.

quarry association


Explanation:
"Quarrying" is very unwieldy. UK doesn't use it. See Google.
