Mike if you have at any time suffered a lightning strike on nearby power lines that have fried appliances at your home, your safety switch may be damaged.
In your position yes I would have an electrician come and check the safety switch and the quality of the earthing.

As for appliances that trip the safety switch, I wouldn't try using them again until checked and known to be safe.
