If a fluorescent light bulb breaks, first ensure your safety by wearing gloves and using a damp paper towel to pick up small glass pieces. Ventilate the area by opening windows and turning off the heating or air conditioning. Dispose of the broken bulb according to local regulations, as fluorescent bulbs contain Mercury. Finally, wash your hands thoroughly after cleaning up.
