It depends on what was spilled. Milk? Chemicals? Oil? The first thing to do is to contain the spill. This is important from milk to Oil. If you don't keep it from spreading, your problems will increase. If it is a chemical, look for the MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet) information on the package. They will give you a toll free number to call. They will give you information about the chemical and what to do in case of an emergency. Good luck. Remember, Don't cry over spilled milk.

Why can mercury spilled on the floor not be collected by hand?

Mercury is extremely toxic to humans (and pretty much everything else as well). It can be absorbed quite easily through the skin and the vapour is also easy to breathe in; this makes it quite dangerous and unhealthy to try it. Even if this wasn't so, mercury is liquid at any temperature above -38oC/oF, and its density and surface tension mean that you physically can't pick it up with your hands.
