When the airbag light (SRS) is on it means a fault has occurred in the system and the airbag diagnostic monitor has disabled the system, the most common problem that turns the light on is a break in the connection to the steering wheel mounted airbag, this is due to a rotating ribbon contact that breaks under the steering wheel that connects the airbag to the wiring harness and the diagnostic monitor, the part is called th clock spring contact, a coiled up ribbon electrical contact that turns with the wheel
SRS - Supplementary Restraint System - light flashing means the system that looks after the airbag(s) and/or seatbelt pre-tensioners has detected something out of the ordinary.
Both types of devices pose serious risk of injury when worked on by unqualified personnel.
Also, your safety in an accident depends on these devices so all in all, I'd get it checked out by a garage.
