Generally we encourage the dogs to keep the bones outside, or in the kitchen, and mop the floor after. Not that it needs much - they usually munch wherever it lands! The sound of a couple of German Shepherds crunching up their bones means you probably don't want them doing this right by the sofa during a movie. After an hour or so all that's left of a big marrow bone is entirely cleaned, and the smaller stuff is gone completely. So we've never found it an issue. I imagine we and the children, especially when they were younger, spread as much as any salmonella loaded paw prints. :)
