Yes. A factor of 4:1 or 5:1 is commonly used to get to the working load limit or safe working load.

I”m using Amsteel Blue as well with the webbing, the Amsteel Blue has a breaking strength of 1,600 lbs.

I’ve ordered 1-inch webbing for my suspension which has a breaking strength of 1,500 lbs. I weigh 180 lbs. So will this webbing hold me? I actually ordered them as a roll and plan to tie my own knot, so perhaps that reduces the safety point as well. Isn’t the safe working load dividing the breaking strength by 5? So 300 lbs?

I’m not sure I follow. Each manufacturer lists the working load limit, or safe working load, for their strap. That rating, as it seems you understand, is below the breaking point. Manufacturers rarely publish the breaking point.
