You should have a SOP in some form for most tasks. A permit system should be for very specific things like confined spaces, electrical work etc, where a very specific set of conditions need to be applied, eg isolation, to ensure the area is safe before work is allowed to commence.

Although targeted for petroleum, chemical and allied industries, the HSE guidance on PTW may provide details of what a PTW is and when is it required. http://www.hse.gov.uk/pubns/priced/hsg250.pdf
