In general, the present invention has to do with a webbing system used in a fall restraint retractor and other industrial applications where the webbing has an elongated main body comprising synthetic fiber warp yarns, lateral weft yarns, and wire and multi-component stuffer yarns. Cut resistant warp yarns are arranged across the face and back of the main body, the yarns being formed of multi-filament high tenacity yarns. Specifically, the high tenacity yarns are selected from a group consisting of an extended chain, ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene. Cut resistant stuffer yarns are arranged across the inner body, the yarn being formed of multi-filament high tenacity yarns and anti-corrosive wire, such as, for example, stainless steel twisted wires.
