Asbestos registers for buildings

Hi all,

Does anyone know the requirement for the upkeep of an asbestos register?

Does a formal asbestos survey need to be done to complete an register and then its kept up to date.

if all asbestos removed does the register need to remain in place for reference?

Thanks
