Whilst I find the HSE website usually very good in providing this type of information, I'm struggling to find any statistical evidence with regards to lost time frequency rates, injury incident rates, and severity rates, specifically for the engineering industry or at a pinch, manufacturing. Can anyone point me in the right direction with this please.

The HSE website page 'Health and safety statistics' provides all that they have - but you've probably seen that?. You'll find that they don't publish data linked to working hours, but to working populations, i.e. per 100,000. To make the numbers easier for a non-specialist to grasp, just divide by 1000 - as most people know what a group of 100 workers looks like! They used to publish data for specific sectors - I guess employer bodies for each sector tend to do that now?
