In the case of breaking a CFL (I think I have broken exactly one) then there is a minor hazard from the released vapour.

Leaving the scene (and ventilating) the scene of the crime for a while probably minimises the risk from that...

Considering that we played with liquid Mercury at school I cannot get that worked up about it, though ready-vapourised stuff is probably less clever.
