Likely to be an issue with the seat belt buckles. These contain some electrical contacts which can corrode, get dirty or simply fail.

Since wearing the seatbelt is an integral part of the SRS system, the airbag light signals whenever the engine is running and a seatbelt is unfastened (which it's interpreting the 'open' circuit to be).
