Check your owner's manual for specific information related to your model.  In my car, the light comes on for a while when I first start it as a test of the system, then goes out.  If it stayed on all the time, I would have to suspect a problem with it.

As to how safe, I don't know.  It might be designed with a disabling feature, and that is what the light means.  You need specific information on your make and model of car.  Check the manufacturer's website for FAQ's and customer support.

What goes around comes around

In the short run it's safe but I would get it checked out ASAP. You don't really want to get into an accident and find out that your airbags don't work.
