Does your work place have stringent rules to violent behaviour? Even if it doesn’t, does it embarrass you when you lose your cool? What have you done, once you lost it? Share your disaster recovery mantra, we wait to hear it from you. For me, it’s terribly embarrassing, even to imagine myself going mad. That imagination scares me and cools me down, when I feel I am about to lose my temper.
Here's an article on what to do if you lose your cool:
Variable #1: You’re normally a nice person.
If you have heretofore been a swell person to work with, your meltdown will stand out. “You could have been the most charming colleague for 20 years, but blow up on just one day and that’s all people will remember,” says Mark Jeffries, international management consultant and author of The Art of Business Seduction. “You can’t put lava back in the volcano.”
Your move: A public tantrum deserves a public apology, and you need to make it quickly so the gunpowder smell from your explosion doesn’t hang in the air for days. And people will respect that because the public apology is the hardest to deliver. “Blame yourself openly,” says Jeffries. “But also give them something that recalls the nice you, a shot of humor like ‘I’ve been watching way too much Hell’s Kitchen.’” After that, have an immediate sit-down with your boss and offer the same mea culpa.
“If it’s an isolated incident, most organizations won’t go to termination on first offense,” says Dick Grote, human resources consultant and author of the forthcoming Harvard Business School book Performance Appraisals. If your boss does decide to discipline you via a suspension or probation, take your sentence and behave with class from then on. Don’t mention your wig-out again and people will move on from it. After all, everyone is entitled to one bad moment.

If you loose your temper,make up by clear apology and do not repeat that type of behaviour.
Analyse why and what made you loose temper?
People normally do not loose cool in office but there may have been a build up to the blow out.
So when things are building up,that is the time to settle the issue before it ends up in blowup and then even loosing the job.
There are bosses who are pushy and provoke juniors by harsh words and refuse to listen to views of subordinates.(Rule no1 boss is always right)
The only way out for an employee is to develop an even temper and calm nature.
Change you approach to handling dissent and work pressure.
Senior officials play a big role by being role models and always correct people in mild manner and never get involved in Public slanging matches.
