Narrative:
While climbing through about 19;000 feet we received a red pitch trim main inoperative caution message. We complied with the QRH and determined that the main page trim on the copilot side had become inoperative. We proceeded to continue the fight; at 27;000 outside of reduced vertical separation minimums (rvsm) airspace and contacted dispatch and maintenance to advise them of the situation. About 10 minutes later we received a yellow pitch trim first officer switch fail message along with multiple trim audible warnings I went to the QRH to determine that that was a notification that the copilots trim switch which had failed. The first officer continued to hand fly the plane as the QRH had called for the autopilot not to be use for continued and landed uneventfully.the first notification of the incident was the red warning message followed by the yellow caution message about a minute later.maintenance believes that this occurred due to the first officer trim switch not working properly. Maintenance worked on the airplane the following morning and deferred the first officer switched from our trip continued as normal with no further incident from the system.
